| R.{Sir Henry Royce} FROM E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} SECRET X500K E1/M28.2.31. C. to SG.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} WOR.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} C. to HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} JAPAN 3. - REAR END OF ENGINE. X5770 X500K Please find herewith a print of LeC.2877., dealing with the above. Our calculations shew that there should be plenty of friction drive available in the cone mounting for the flange but we shall probably require a stronger note to hold up the load set up by the hydraulic press in assembling.
