| To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from R.{Sir Henry Royce} c. to CJ. BJ. c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} X9770 R1/M31.1.23. RE. "STORK" & "HERON" CHASSIS X.9770 With reference to your Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/LG29.1.23., I fear these might delay "Seagull" at Derby. I prefer to use every hour of energy on pushing forward "Seagull". No time will be spent here on anything but "Seagull", until this is complete. I fear also that front wheel brakes may prove too great a temptation to keep off the road. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
