Mr Royce has, therefore, given the necessary authority for rigging up another crank case and set of cylinders with the remaining pieces, which will form a suitable high speed testing gear for the springs, providing that scrapped parts are utilized in doing so. Would you, therefore, kindly issue the necessary instructions to the shops?
