[text struck through] x 1148 x 3441 ORIGINAL 2 R1/G11/4/21. RE 40/50 H.P. CHASSIS - LUBRICATION OF FRONT PIVOTS. With reference to your memo HS {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 2/LG8/4/21, I agree, get going on this. Would not cap be equally good and lighter and cheaper if made in steel instead of Delta, or would you fear rusting in R. {Sir Henry Royce} [Stamp: REC'D APR 13 1921] | ||
