| Contd. -2- R23/10.8.20. bezel for the glass will probably be quite successful, and should be tested. It would be nice if we could protect the glass from risk of breakage, I think, but we can leave that until we find if it is necessary. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} suggests hard glass. English plate-glass used to be considered far harder than French. This we coule enquire into, but get the job moving. It is now hopeful, and promises well. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
