| HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} A.F. ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} c. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 1260 BY.1/G.16.12.38. RE: ENGINEERING COSTS. I am of the opinion that Mr. Leslie should be on my staff and directly responsible to me instead of as at present on ROY{Sir Henry Royce}'s staff. The question of methods of production is essentially my responsibility, and is not one I would propose to finally delegate to anyone. I must satisfy myself as to the proposal before Order Office is approached. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
