| To BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} HS. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} and) Mr. Claremont.) FROM R. {Sir Henry Royce} X.9910 S E C R E T. E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} A. {Mr Adams} C. R5/24.7.24. Regarding the servos we do not wish to depart from the plate clutch servo unless we are obliged to do so, but I have sent in an arrangement of shoe servo which I think should give satisfaction and which if patented now may be useful some time, because someone else may do the same thing, and prevent our using even this scheme.
