Bailey - Chief Engineer} from R.{Sir Henry Royce} c. to BJ. Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} X1140 R5/M22.3.27. 40/50 HP. BONNET LOCK & X.5260 X.1140 20 HP. BONNET FASTENER. X.8260 Derby has had a novel bonnet fastener for some time. It is worth trying as quickly as possible. If this is no good we shall improve the 20 HP. type: I have shewn-know. how. There is now a new lock - N.sch.2372 which I think is now good for a trial. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
