C. to - [Struck through text] HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} [Top Right] ORIGINAL R2/M28.12.26. DESPATCHED FROM WW. 30.12.26. [Center] UNION CONNECTIONS. [Handwritten: X8180 / X5180] Before these are made in quantity for stock they should again be lightened, because exactly the same should be used for aero work. A good mechanic, say Mr. Haldenby, and HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} will pass the models. This is an urgent matter for E's prompt attention. They will be a valuable addition to our standard practice, and should at once be available. Already some years have been spent in developing. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
