X.2974 Copy to Mr. Ck.{Mr Clark} 2 Bn{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington}3/26.2.20. X.2974. RE RICARDO PISTON. X.3879 X.3785 I send you herewith copies of correspondence which has passed between Mr. Ricardo and me on the subject of Pistons, as I am not clear at the moment whether you wish us to deal with this at Derby or whether you will handle it direct at West WitteringHenry Royce's home town. You will see that one point outstanding is that Mr. Ricardo would like to have your views on the form of piston top to be adopted both for the chassis and for the "Condor". Will you kindly inform me whether you wish us to do anything more in this matter, as regards corresponding with him. Bn.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} Encs. | ||
