To Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} from R.{Sir Henry Royce} Copy to Na.{Mr Nadin} Copy to J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} Copy to E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} With reference to milling out the centre of the connecting rods, we have nearly completed a device which will render this operation comparatively simple. The drawing will be sent in the course of a few days. Some day we ought to procure or make a completed automatic machine for this purpose, and we have many ideas in mind towards the making of such a machine. However, with the apparatus we are making an unskilled man or even a girl can do the work. R.{Sir Henry Royce} (Sgd) F.H.R. | ||
