ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} c. to Ms. x3806. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson}5/MJ.3.6.30. ALUMINIUM DRIP PLUGS. Since the centralised lubrication of the chassis will have to be completely re-designed in order to incorporate these drip plugs, we can safely say that there is little probability of them being adopted for at least two years.
