ATW. 40/50 pe 6 EX Typed text: To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from R.{Sir Henry Royce} c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} c. to EFC. c. to EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} c. to BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} c. to Hy.{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} RE 6.EX CAR. X.3923 (X.3923 is struck through) R1/M13.1.22. Replying to your memo. to E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer}, Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}4/LG9.1.22., I hope to be well enough to see you about the 20th.inst. I think 6.EX Car had better go to Derby while I am at Le CanadelHenry Royce's French residence unless you would like to fit this as U.S.A. standard and try it across France during the coldest of the weather, if so, fetch it at once. If it went across I would use it when there and pay half the expenses. My memo. to Mr. Wormald was intended rather to refer to how you were getting on with perfection, reliability of running, miss-fires, silence, etc, rather than production. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} can go to London the week-end suggested but I am pushing to give you all the designs you require. There seems a few little things that require attention from here, modifications to one thing upsetting another. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
