| To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 262 Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}17/KW.26.10.37. Replying to Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/R.25.10.37, I certainly should not press E.R. Hall to take one of our engines for a motor boat. We know from experience with the ones he has had that we are under an obligation to look after it, and I am sure a motor car engine does not make a satisfactory boat engine until it has had radical modifications.
