| To HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} ORIGINAL. 5 E4/G13/8/20. RECEIVED X.3558. X.3760 RE R.R. DISTRIBUTION BOARD. It would be a very great help in settling up the R.R. distribution board if you could send to West WitteringHenry Royce's home town a model (which need not necessarily be of the final type) which would shew the little fittings and details, such as terminals, fuse holders, and connectors, for Mr. Royce's inspection. The model you sent here of the R.R. switchbox was most helpful, and resulted in some valuable and useful alterations to featured which are very difficult to deal with on drawing paper.
