To EH. from R.{Sir Henry Royce} Copy to CJ. [struck through] ORIGINAL [stamp] 22nd October, 1918. R9/G221018 X.3398 RE BALL BEARINGS. RECEIVED [stamp with clock face] There have been made, we think in France, ball bearings in which the balls completely fill the races, no cage was used. Such ball bearings might be very suitable for the planets of our epicyclic gears. [Signature] R.{Sir Henry Royce} [Stamp: 25 OCT 1918] | ||
