| DA. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to BJ. Wor. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} FROM R. {Sir Henry Royce} /7460 R9/M7.4.28. 'SS {S. Smith} ' REAR END - PETROL TANK, WHEEL CARRIER ETC. X. 7460 X. 7600 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 yrs. past on the 20 HP. R. {Sir Henry Royce} | ||
