| 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. At the same time the Riley would have the advantage of our old G.l. scheme of central ignition plugs. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
