TO HS. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM R. {Sir Henry Royce}
ORIGINAL
R1/M1.12.23.
20.HP. REAR AXLE. X 4256
Referring to HS {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 4/LG261123, please ask if this design is the old standard, or altered to the suggestions from here - i.e. length, etc.

Is the air hardened steel equally good for wear?

R. {Sir Henry Royce}
