| M12/L171213. Re Rapid Testing of Valve Springs. X.290. Na.{Mr Nadin} 17-12-13. Mr Johnson instructed some time ago that samples of every batch of valve springs be tested to destruction, and in consequence Mr Wormald wrote you 9/4/13 requesting you to instruct the D.O. to consider designs of a rig that would enable us to rapidly carry out the above tests. Mr Wormald replied to Mr Johnson stating what he had done, and Mr Johnson now writes to know whether the new rig is completed but we have not yet received this. Mr Moon from Le CanadelHenry Royce's French residence writes that he cannot recall being advised about it. Mr Wormald would like to know what is being done in the matter. His original memo was WOR{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}24/T4913. p. Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} | ||
