| Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from R.{Sir Henry Royce} c. to BJ. Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} X7080 R3/M17.10.28. 'SS{S. Smith}' ENGINE. 7080 7070 K.7771 Regarding 'SS{S. Smith}' engine, apparently owing to the importance of the aero engine work, we fear that the development of the former, and its carbs. and induction pipes, have been pushed into the background. It would seem that we ought to have sufficient capacity to keep the work moving. For instance, we have never seen a chart of the HP. with the std. carb., comparing the present engine on on equal lines. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
