Dear Sirs, 35 m/m.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} BEARINGS With reference to your valued communication of the 18th October last, we regret that this particular matter has been unavoidably delayed, it being remembered that one bearing our 2/MDJT.35 was returned to have the brass cage withdrawn, and a duralumin cage fitted, the outer rings also being modified to make them demountable as in the latest design. As mentioned before, this job has been unavoidably delayed, but we trust this will have caused you no inconvenience, and it occurs to us that you may consider it desirable to change this to a steel cage. However, we are despatching this under separate cover, and would assure you of our best attention at all times. Yours faithfully, RANSOME & MARLES BEARING CO. LTD. MANAGING DIRECTOR. Under separate cover: One bearing 2/MDJT.35. | ||
