I explained to Mr. Royce that we were having some trouble with Hoffmann ball bearings, and he suggested that we try some experiments with Skefko ball bearings. Will you please get us about 3 sets of these bearings for our gear box, and 3 sets for axles, and we will pass them over to our Experimental Dept.
