| X. 8230 To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from R.{Sir Henry Royce} c. to CJ. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} S E C R E T. R1/M4.5.25. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} A.{Mr Adams} C. EXHAUST PIPES. With regard to the exhaust downtake pipes I suggest that these may stand better if made in Everbright, or Stainless iron, or steel. If so we would make a scheme where we can avoid brazing or welding, that is, if the material cannot be brazed or welded. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
