R.{Sir Henry Royce} from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c. BJ. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} HY.{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} X7560 E2/M22.3.28. EAC.10. PROVISION FOR THERMOMETER BULB IN CYLINDER HEAD. X.8560. Herewith please find blueprint of LeC.2533., dealing with the above. We have carried the end ignition wire round the outside of the induction pipe as this we think makes a better job than unduly shortening the end of the wiring tube, and moreover the L.T. switch wire does not have to reach so far across space from the engine to the dash.
