| To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} c. to BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} RECEIVED X5230. ROY{Sir Henry Royce}11/MG23.8.32 As you are aware, we are buying details for the 20 HP. Exhaust in small batches, and by the end of this month we shall have to buy another batch to maintain continuity of output. Each batch we so buy represents some £5. to £6. more than the modified resonant type with which you are experimenting. Kindly advise if there is any possibility of tests with the modified type being completed within the next week or so, and so secure the economy in question, i.e. £50. to £60. per week.
