ORIGINAL TO BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM R.{Sir Henry Royce} (BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} is struck through) Copies to CJ. BJ. (CJ. BJ. is struck through) " WOR.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} TG. (WOR.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} TG. is struck through) " DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} AJS. (DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} AJS. is struck through) re. DESIGN & EXPERIMENTAL WORK. I am hoping and expecting to see EAC.2. and EAC. 8. by the end of the month. We are nearing completion of RR. E.16., and also the new epicyclic gear, (this design should be available for Condor, RR. F.10., and RR. E.20., if found good) which is arranged for a gun gear attachment, so that good progress should now follow on RR. F.10., and the campaign of less EAC. chassis weight. I thank BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} for his excellent weekly reviews of the design state - they are most useful. R.{Sir Henry Royce} Handwritten text in top right corner: X7790 74114 X8770 X38024 | ||
