| To RG.{Mr Rowledge} E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} from R.{Sir Henry Royce} c. to BJ. Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} c. to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} X8180 R2/M28.12.26. UNION CONNECTIONS. X.8180 X.5180 Before these are made in quantity for stock they should again be lightened, because exactly the same should be used for aero work. A good mechanic, say Mr. Haldenby and Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} will pass the models. This is an urgent matter for E's prompt attention. They will be valuable addition to our std. practice, and should at once be available. Already some years have been spent in developing. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
