| X.8180 X.5180 STANDARDISATION SHEET - UNION CONNECTIONS. R.{Sir Henry Royce} remarks :- Agreed. Before these are made in quantity for stock they should again be lightened, because exactly same should be used for aero work. A good mechanic (say Mr. Haldenby) and Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} will pass the models. This is an urgent matter for E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} prompt attention. They will be a very valuable addition to our standard practice and should at once be available e already some years developing. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
