| RG.{Mr Rowledge} ) FROM R.{Sir Henry Royce} HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ) C to SC DY{F R Danby} E AERO ENGINE CONSTRUCTION. X2917a RG.{Mr Rowledge} shewed me the drawings of the proposed inverted engine. I regret to say that I think the scheme of indirect drive of the blower to be much less desirable than our present direct drive, and I think it would be as well to have another try to find a more direct and orderly arrangement of both this and the dynamo position and drive.
