| E....from C. c. to Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to By. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} HS {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X523 010/017.12.27 With reference to R's note H2/M1.12.27, this matter has been discussed and considered by the Sales Conference and we agree with R. {Sir Henry Royce} that free wheels would not be good on our cars. We might be asked by an isolated customer if we could supply and fit, but we think this is quite unlikely and therefore agree that it is not worth R. {Sir Henry Royce} wasting his time on at present. RJ. has asked me to let you know this. C. | ||
