Luke & Elliott, of Braintree, two each sample Brake Drums G.100416, G.79502, G.80359, G.100981, which are at the present time lying in the Experimental Department Stores. The Test Bar representing the material from which this batch of Drums is made was handed to By/EM. It is hoped to receive in the near future a further Test Piece of material made by the high frequency method. Will all concerned kindly have necessary tests made, since this method of casting shows a marked economy over the high frequency method. ------------ [Handwritten Initials: GRX] ROY{Sir Henry Royce}/HW.
