| K632 RE CYLINDER BORER. J. {Mr Johnson W.M.} for R. {Sir Henry Royce} 30.4.14. M1/G30414. I have discussed the above with Mr. Wormald and Mr. Nadin and they think the idea of five heads instead of three very good indeed. The question of milling the base came up again and they think that it will be necessary to rough and finish mill this face without changing the cutters and as we suggested before, viz, by using a double spindle head. By this latter means the travel of the head may decide the size of table. Enclosed is a blue shewing a rough out-line of the cylinders on a 5ft table. The cylinders are approximate as we have not a finished drawing here. M. {Mr Moon / Mr Moore} Jay X-63 R.R. 235A (150 H) (V.V.) 782 27-8-14) G. {Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} 0442. | ||
