WOR {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} ORIGINAL R9/M7.4.28. REC'D AT WW. DURING EASTER & DESPATCHED 11.4.28. "SS {S. Smith} " REAR END - PETROL TANK, WHEEL CARRIER ETC. X7460 X7600 I am very disappointed about this. We seem to be moving from bad to worse. We must have a simpler scheme- i.e. less pieces. I am trying out a new scheme which I will send you if I find it is any good. We must do something better than that we did 6 years past on the 20HP. R. {Sir Henry Royce} | ||
