ORIGINAL. TO BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} FROM R.{Sir Henry Royce} R4/M1.12.22. c. to CJ. c. to WAR. c. to HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ✓ c. to DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} RE. RR. DISTRIBUTION BOARD. X 3555 We found a huge piece of thick alum-inium behind the distribution board. This has been put on apparently on account of some bolt heads. If we cannot find any other means of getting rid of these bolt heads it would be better to add to the distribution board base so as to make it hollow at the back and so clear them. The cost, weight, and complication, would be considerably less. R.{Sir Henry Royce} [Stamp] Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} DEC 9 1922 RECEIVED | ||
