| Secret. Y8710 Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} BY7/H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} 12. 3. 25. "G" SERIES 20 HP. It appears to us reasonable on "G" Series 20 HP. to fit EAC. ~~column~~ coil so that we only have one coil in manufacture. It is very much easier to keep things balanced up if there is only one part for both cars. The only difference between the EAC. and the 20 HP. is the method of holding. I think you are in favour of holding it by the base on the 20 HP. in a similar manner to EAC. R.{Sir Henry Royce} has advocated this scheme for a long time. If you are in agreement and will issue a Standardization Sheet we will at once put the matter through. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} Ry | ||
