With regard to your memo Sr.8/ET.25.4.39 on the sleeve shaft gearbox, of course we grasped the idea as suggested in your last paragraph. We think it must be some species of "molecular windmill", but should like further particulars if you can get them. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} | ||
