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?
