Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} x+11 ROY{Sir Henry Royce}/MS11/P.28.11.33. FABROIL GEARS. In reply to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}7/KT.23.11.33, we have been in communication with the British Thomson-Houston and Attwater & Sons, and neither of these firms have a mould suitable for making the gears to sketches supplied. They are therefore quoting for ordinary plain blanks, which we are ordering, and on arrival it will be necessary to machine to shape. Roy.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
