| TO R.{Sir Henry Royce} from Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} TO Og. " Copy to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} WMS 87005 Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}12/T2.6.31. P.2 10,000 Miles Trial. I have had a chat with Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}, HY.{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} and RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} on the question of proving the principles of the Dismon Mounting at the earliest possible moment. It was decided that owing to the urgency that we will not wait for the complete production job, that RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} will take the drawings sent by WW. and do the job quickly. The scheme is to be finished in about a week's time, so that early next week you should see a car fitted up.
