| X3441 To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from R.{Sir Henry Royce} c. to CJ. c. to Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. to BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} R1/G11.4.21. X1148 X3441 RE. 40/50 H.P. CHASSIS - LUBRICATION OF FRONT PIVOTS. With reference to your memo. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/LG8.4.21., I agree, get going on this. Would not cap be equally good and lighter and cheaper if made in steel instead of Delta, or would you fear rusting in? R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
