| To ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} X+11 E.13/HP.4.7.33. Fabroil Gear. We attach herewith letter of Messrs. British Thomson-Houston Co. with their blueprint of the moulded gear, also LeC.3553 showing the sort of hub we should want. We should like to know if they can supply the blanks proposed with the modified hub we require. This may need a simple modification to their die which need not spoil the die as the recess could be filled any time with a washer. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
