Rolls-Royce, Ltd., D E R B Y . 2-4-37 of the bearing through to the rear, and therefore into the casing, would be a very useful alteration, thereby ensuring a definite and adequate circulation. We quite appreciate that with your existing scheme there exists a scheme which should lead to circulation, but there is no doubt that as the outlet is more open to the rear the oil must naturally choose the easier way, thereby eliminating any circulation through the front bearing. We trust this information will fully cover your requirements, and with regard to the components, these will be returned to you in the course of a few days. Always assuring you of our best attention, We are, Yours faithfully, RANSOME & MARLES BEARING CO. LTD. C. &. H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} Richardson GENERAL MANAGER.
