| X4117 Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} C. Wor. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} re 34-GN. Mr. C. R. {Sir Henry Royce} Fairey. Ep {G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} 6/AV/R. 21. 3. 30. As you know, Hall is probably leaving London before April 3rd with Mr. Fairey's car for the South of France. It will be driven back to London by Mr. Fairey at, no doubt, a very high speed. We shall be glad to know if you think the plugs as fitted will be entirely satisfactory for continual full throttle working on French roads, and if not, what are your recommendations please, and do you think it desirable that he should carry a spare set of plugs for the trip?
