| To Roy {Sir Henry Royce} /GC. 4421 Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /FJH. {Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer} 4/KW.18.4.35. Re the attached letter from Messrs. Rudge-Whitworth Ltd. We should prefer to have the balance weights equally spaced for the sake of appearance, but if they are unable to arrange this we will accept the wheel shown for experimental purposes. However, we should like their opinion on the possibility or otherwise of spacing the weights equally. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /F.J.Hardy. | ||
