Bailey - Chief Engineer} Roy.{Sir Henry Royce} X 4584 Worl/R.21.2.34. re: 20/25 H.P. Output. Roy.{Sir Henry Royce} is pressing to order further material. Sales agree to our ordering a further 200 sets provided matters are so arranged that we do not lose the benefit on these 200 sets of a number of the improvements to be incorporated in the next experimental 20/25 H.P., as per E4/HP. 9.12.33. The items looked upon as important are taken from those quoted in the memo above, viz., 1. 2. 3. 4. 7. 8. 9. 14. 18. 20. 23. 24. 25. 27. As regards 28, this refers to the petrol pump, and Sales remark that they are quite content with the present scheme until a major change is made in the 20/25 H.P. chassis. Will you please let me know if these instructions, with the above reservations, meet your requirements, or, have you any comments to make upon the items mentioned?
