| Wor {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} /SM4/L14114. Re Light Connecting Rods. X.706. R. {Sir Henry Royce} 14-1-14. We are sending to you under separate cover one light Connecting Rod without brasses as a specimen, as requested by Mr Elliott in his memo E3/P30.12.13. We wish to state however that the milling on this rod is not quite correct to drawing, the rod being slightly thin on the H section caused through the milling cutter dropping during operation, otherwise the rod is quite O.K. p.
