In the larger of the boxes which you took back with you from West WitteringHenry Royce's home town to Derby, you will find the following material :- One Claudel-Hobson Carburettor. Model H.C.8. One Dixie Magneto with separate distributor for 12 cylinder engine. One R.R. 40/50 H.P. old type chassis coil in pieces. One U.S.A. Navy Aircraft Rev. Counter, together with drive. Box of radiator tubes at different stages of manufacture. Rough casting of "Condor" Piston. Model of "Condor" Cylinder Flange. Two "Eagle" Connecting Rods. One C.A.V. Motor. [STAMP: RECEIVED 5 MAY 1919] The longer box contains really scrap models and specimens which we have finished with, and which may be put on the scrap heap, except for the value which you may attach to some of them. You will find the partial history of many of the pieces is given by labels. There is one piece to which we would draw your attention, which has been included by error in the smaller box amongst the scrap, that is, the main switch belonging to the C.A.V. motor. We should be glad if you would hunt this out and put it with the motor to which it belongs. (Contd.) | ||
