Change over to different material, from CK 45 N to 41 CR4 V 80. 2. Increasing the radius at the joint oft.he connectingrod seat and the crank webs from 0.062 11 + 0.015” to .c–<, 0.086 11 + 0.015". As a result of the increased radius the inner chamfers of the bearing shells had to be widened from 0.023'' x 45ยฐ to 0.047" + 0.07 x 30ยฐ; the order numbers 11 24 1 250 197, 11 24 1 251 052 (-0.25), 11 24 1 251 053 (-0.50), 11 24 1 255 294 (0.75) for the bearing shells remain the same. - 2 - ( Kenntnis genommen - Pris connaissance - Noted - Tornado nota - Presa conoscenza Ablage - Archives -File- Archive Betrlebsleltun!'.I W,..~l,c,f,,.H ( i .

To obviate any errors the total stock of old bearing shells should be sent to the importer for scrapping. The importer will inform division VS-112 of the number of bearing shells scrapped upon completion of the action so that the necessary credit can be given.
