| To Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from R. {Sir Henry Royce} c. to CJ. c. to Wor. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} * X.272 R14/G25.4.21. X.272 X.3786 X.3548 RE PROGRESS OF EXPERIMENTAL WORK. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 1/LG8.4.21. Unless we are definitely waiting for work in the Experimental Dept., no work should be done on "Vulture(Experimental 6 CYL OHV LONG STROKE / Aero Engine)" or "Buzzard(Aero Engine)", but rather than stand still, such work as you think will eventually be part of a finished engine or chassis, should go forward. If there are any parts that your judgement renders them of doubtful value, they should be with-held at present until we are sure that such work will be useful. R. {Sir Henry Royce} | ||
