To Wd.{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead} from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c. to CU. c. to REC. c. to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ✓ ORIGINAL E2/M15.3.22. X11G2 RE WESTON VOLTMETER. With reference to your memo. to R.{Sir Henry Royce} Wd{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead}3/NJ13.3.22. I do not believe that Mr. Royce contemplated fitting a voltmeter to the 40/50 chassis as part of the standard electrical equipment, but that he had this fitted to the car he was using for experimental observation of the battery.
