WOR. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} HS. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} HY. {Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} ORIGINAL R6/W6.12.32. Sent off 9.12.32. x2064 INTERNAL COMBUSTION TURBINE. Referring to LR {Mr Ellor} 1/A21232, I think this subject is too far away for us to spend time upon it at the moment, as our hands are full with more immediate and promising practical work. I suggest we wait until the pioneers have got some results comparable with more orthodox types. We are commercial rather than research people. R | ||
