Bailey - Chief Engineer} from R.{Sir Henry Royce} c. to J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} c. to Na.{Mr Nadin} X.543.-RE STARTER SCHEME. X170 X.1058. I have received your note with reference to the Bijur traveller, and I have written to Mr. Johnson that I should not consider it good to have our starting materials made in America. If, however, we find difficulty in doing the work we might consider it. I notice that the Mercedes have adopted the Bijur which supports our judgement. They want £83 for Lighting and Starting Set complete. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
