| To RHC. {R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} X24 Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Std.1/KW. 27.4.35. Will you please have a Bentley fan flange built up with aluminium blades in precisely the same manner as that in which you made the aluminium blade fan which GWH. {George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} has in France. We should like this at the earliest possible moment as we wish to test its strength mechanically in order to say whether GWH. {George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} can run the fan which he has with safety. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Std. | ||
