RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}5/KW.11.4.34. You are making for us a further three flywheels, to EX.12846, as fitted to P.V.4. We should like to try these made in Milanite, with the starter ring shrunk or bolted on. We shall not therefore want any more steel flywheels. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/H.Grylls. | ||
