| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} X702 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}37/KW.27.6.35. Bentley Rear Axle. We still wish to prove to production that local bedding of the axle gears will cause failures. Could you fit up an axle having local bedding at the end of the tooth, so that we could arrange a dynamometer test on a production chassis to settle this point.
