I understand that you have in hand the new pattern where the universal shaft is slightly more elastic and much longer. We trust this will be running shortly as we are very anxious to get this introduced at an early date. [Signature] R.{Sir Henry Royce} [STAMP: RECEIVED with a clock face and date 30 AUG 1917] | ||
