| R.R. 235B (100 T) (S.H 798 10-12-20) G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} 2948 TO EFC. (CJ. BJ. PN.{Mr Northey} HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}) FROM R.{Sir Henry Royce} ORIGINAL R2/M23.11.22. NO. 6. GOSHAWK. X4273 We have changed the coil on this car to a stabalite cased one (40/50). It has improved the car immensely. Evidently many mis-fires previously attributed to carburation do not now exist. The car is faster and sweeter, and altogether more satisfactory. My disappointment expressed to HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} of want of power has now been removed. RECEIVED R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
