To Roy.{Sir Henry Royce}.. - from Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} c. to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X975-6033 Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}11/M7/4/24. I have your note Roy{Sir Henry Royce}10/MG4/4/24, proposing that in view of EFC's report we change from the Weston ammeter, an American production, to the Elliott ammeter, an English production. I should not agree until I had a report from Mr. Hives saying that he had run it 10,000 miles, and that Mr.Royce had approved of doing so. W. | ||
