R2/P 27.8.13 Mr. Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} from R.{Sir Henry Royce} Na.{Mr Nadin} J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} With reference to hobbing of gears, I think it would be wise in the purchase of any future machines, to get those of the type in which we can fit the creeping system suggested by Parsons. Messrs. Muirs of Manchester, I understand, will be most likely to supply such a machine with the creeping table fitted. R.{Sir Henry Royce} (Sgd) F.H.R. This applies to those gears such as engine gears which are finished by hobbing. The creeping idea should be tested. COPY. | ||
