| X.4783 E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} } FROM R. {Sir Henry Royce} HS. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} } R2/M31.8.32. C. to SG. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} WOR. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} re. T.T. RACE. Regarding your E11/HP24832, and the good behaviour of the push rod engines, it looks as though we ought to get through with the Bensport(Codename for 3 1/2-litre Bentley). At the same time the Riley would have the advantage of our old G.l. scheme of central ignition plugs. R. {Sir Henry Royce} | ||
