| ORIGINAL TO E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} RG.{Mr Rowledge}DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} FROM R.{Sir Henry Royce} R5/M9. 2. 24. Copy to C.J. B.Y. H.S. R.P. re. FLEXIBLE COUPLING. X2431 / X3530 Alpe cord fabric for coupling does not seem a necessity, but I do think your second point of enclosing in canvas so as to be quite waterproof is an excellent improvement, and may be absolutely necessary. Go ahead! R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
