| SG.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} from R.{Sir Henry Royce} c. Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} F.{Mr Friese} c. FFC. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} X7550 R4/M23.2.29. ACCESSORIES OF HIGHEST QUALITY X.4478 X.7550 I should like our management to consider whether it would pay us to make any further electrical accessories in our Electrical Dept., either from our own designs or get licences. It comes about from DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/TV's memo referring to electric screen wipers and horns, Bosch of Germany being apparently the only satisfactory design and reliable make. Personally I fear we should not get through sufficient in number, and we might only assemble the mass made parts. Would SG.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} like Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} and By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} to look at a model ? . R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
