TIMKEN SHARE IN LAND/AIR RECORDS
Abstract
RECAPPING on some of last year's successes, the 1983/4 Number 3 edition of Timken Bearing News opens appropriately with comment on the Richard Noble 633 miles/hr Land Speed Record for Britain, secured in the autumn at Black Rock Desert, Nevada. Timken, it will be recalled, came in to supply Noble's Thrust 2 car wheel bearings. There had been trouble with wheels on the earlier Thrust 1 vehicle and Mike Chambers, British Timken's senior service engineer went to Nevada himself with the team to see all went well on the vital attempt — the culmination of Richard Noble's stoic seven‐year bid for the title.
