| Y 6037 E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} } HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} } FROM R.{Sir Henry Royce} BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} } R2/M27.1.33. X. 4027 X. 6037. C. to SG.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} WOR.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} PEREGRINE DYNAMO. This was discussed here during HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} visit to WW. on the 20 Jan. I suggested reducing its speed to engine revs. for a trial, to see if cutting in was nearly enough. I think 16 MPH. if we got a good charge would be OK. The 1.2 engine revs. suggested by E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} is quite fast enough. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
