| 1360 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}9/R.{Sir Henry Royce} 4th January, 1939. J.O. Eaton, Esq., Jr.{Mr James Royce}, 14, Stanford Court, Cornwall Gardens, LONDON. S.W.7. Dear Mr. Eaton, I think in view of the increased cost you had better hold off ordering those hydraulic tappets for the time being. In any case we shall not be able to try them for about twelve months, during which time some further improvement may have been introduced. Yours sincerely, | ||
