| To EY. from DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. to Ex HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X5940 DAL/MS13.10.25. X. 5940 X. 5420 We understand from Ms2/LG10.10.25., that there is difficulty in getting duralumin pressings for the brake carrier. R.{Sir Henry Royce} would like you to proceed with the alum. casting shewn on R.sch.2055., and thinks that this should be somewhere near being completed, and therefore that it may be quicker to get this on than to wait for the duralumin. We have wired you today asking you to urge the casting. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
