Bailey - Chief Engineer} Roy{Sir Henry Royce}4/W27. 6. 22 WEIGHT OF "GOSHAWK" II RADIATOR. ---------------- We have at last received a communication from Orme, Evans of Wolverhampton, as copy attached, from which you will see they explain the difference between the first radiator they delivered to these Works, weighing 71 lbs., and the second, weighing 61 lbs., as being due to the fact that, without our knowledge or agreement, they made the first radiator from heavier tubes. Their representative was here yesterday, and I clearly pointed out the ridiculous position in which we are placed due to this action on their part, and emphasised the importance of their always working to our Drawings, and not departing from same without first obtaining our permission.
