| TO CJ. BL. RG. {Mr Rowledge} WOR. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} DA. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} HS. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} PN. {Mr Northey} H. {Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} FROM R. {Sir Henry Royce} ORIGINAL R1/M2.7.24. X3592 X3587 re. RR. IMPROVED BENDIX AND BIJUR PINIONS. The decided improvement experienced and reported of the above shews the value, commercially and technically, of improved designs and proportions above novelty of design. Both the above pinions were originally taken from the developed American designs, and proved by experience to be defective. They were then re-designed by us in more logical proportions, which I believe will be found to make all the difference between success and failure. R. {Sir Henry Royce} | ||
