BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from R.{Sir Henry Royce} HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X7060 R1/M22.11.28. NITRIFYING HARDENING. X.4469 X.7060 X.7090 In the above process can parts be treated so that they do not harden, say by copper-plating? The valve gear cam followers must not be hardened on the thread.
