| Y5010. ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} c. Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} c. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. BY/CS. BY.11/G.6.10.31. 20/25 HP. BALANCE WEIGHTS. There still appears to be a doubt in E's mind as to R.{Sir Henry Royce} adopting his 8 weight scheme for a new type of crank produced in dies, which have been modified to suit balance weights. This being so, it will be necessary for me to cancel my instruction BY.12/G.1.10.31. releasing the three crankshafts for forging in the new dies as recently modified. [STAMP] RECEIVED BY.{R.W.
