| FROM R.{Sir Henry Royce} SECRET. Copy to - E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} A.{Mr Adams} C. " - HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} re. DYNAMO DRIVE. X8103 I cannot understand the above requiring such a stiff spring to control the carrier shaft; it would not be satisfactory. Make it a reasonable spring, and as I suggested, or better still let the fabric coupling control the shaft endwise. Such things must be kept simple and practical in spite of grouses from Derby and Sales. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
