| (R) To Na.{Mr Nadin} from R.{Sir Henry Royce} Copy to J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} Copy to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} COPY. COPY. 179 R2/P 23.2.14. I thank you for the particulars of the Cambridge Scientific Instrument Co.'s machine for measuring pitch of threads. If we have any trouble in the Works, it might be worth while to have such an appratus. At present I am a little bit inclined to think it would be extravagant, but anything is better than making bad work. R.{Sir Henry Royce} x880 details returned previous post.
