| HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/RM.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} FROM E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} ORIGINAL E1/M27.9.30. QUADRUPLEX PUMP. x4461. Re. your memo. HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/RM{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}1/WJ15930., I do not think R.{Sir Henry Royce} wishes to retain the above as he thinks it would be rather liable to wear badly due to the presence of grit or sand in the water to be pumped. As you are probably sending a car down next week we propose to return the pump then. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} RECEIVED SEP 29 1930 | ||
