| Ws. Paris from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X433 X1509 +433 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/LGS.2.24. I wish to apologise for not having replied to your many notes. The fact is, we had lost Mackenzie's change speed fan drive and it has taken us this time to find it. We propose carrying out comparative tests and will let you have figures before we return it. As regards the spring shackles. We are returning these to you. We showed them to R.{Sir Henry Royce} but he did not consider they were worth testing. At the same time, designs are being got out for RR. adjustable shackles. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
