| X-P21 To E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} from ROY. {Sir Henry Royce} c. to Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ROY {Sir Henry Royce} 7/MG8.9.33 The Rudge-Whitworth Company have suggested that the Spanner they are producing for Bentley Wheels to our design could be improved, and have submitted a sample, which I hand you herewith, for our consideration. This is only a rough hand-made sample, and should we entertain its use, bulk supplies would be better finished. LID {A. J. Lidsey} ROY. {Sir Henry Royce} ENCLOSURE. Sample Spanner. | ||
