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.
