With reference to the suggestion that we would attempt to bring in the new type union for D.2. Series, please note that R.{Sir Henry Royce} considers the unions should be further lightened, and that E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} should carry out this work before we attempt to produce them in quantity. In view of R's attitude towards this scheme, it will therefore be necessary for us to carry on for D.2. Series with the cone unions which have been standard all along. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} By | ||
