| 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" or "Buzzard", 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} | ||
