Bailey - Chief Engineer} c to Roy.{Sir Henry Royce} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Les.6/M.6.2.37. Road Spring Costs. Re: Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Les.22/AP.18.1.37. We see that a decision has been made concerning the rolled eyes for Bentley, and suggest that it should also be agreed to delete machine grinding for Ph.III rear springs. This saves 5/6d per chassis, and is standard 25 H.P. practice. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Les.{Ivan A. Leslie} | ||
