| 1260 ? Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Ryc. from Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 10/R.2.5.39. We have received the following estimate for putting the 6-cylinder engine on one of our existing test beds. This seems to us to be a fantastical cost for the job, and we cannot agree to this.
