111S To - Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} HW. Br.{T. E. Bellringer - Repair Manager} Fm. HFS. lr{Mr Ellor}/Cm. Mr Cholley (DBH). Lr{Mr Ellor}/Cr.{Mr Cra???ster / Mr Chichester}1/Ef.5.4.40. Attached herewith is a preliminary survey of the Junkers engine weights giving as far as possible a comparative figure for the Merlin Units. It will be appreciated that in many cases the two engines differ so in design, that it has been deemed unwise to attempt a comparison. It is proposed at a later date to make a full photographic detail weight analysis of the 'Junkers' similar to that carried out on the Merlin and Hispano Suiza. ******************** Lr{Mr Ellor}/Cr.{Mr Cra???ster / Mr Chichester} | ||
