| X1350 To R.{Sir Henry Royce} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.2/AD31.8.32. At Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}'s request I am sending you herewith some notes regarding the electrical aero engine revolution counter. We had in mind that such a unit might be supplied integral with our engines. Messrs. Smith's representative, in the course of conversation some time ago, told me that this type of instrument was exactly the type they were anxious to get hold of and have offered to take the matter up if we found the scheme a practical working proposition. The B.T.H. Co. have also expressed an interest in this device. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. | ||
