I am handing you herewith an entirely different system of shutter controls from West WitteringHenry Royce's home town. Incidentally West WitteringHenry Royce's home town have instructed them for "X" Series and 7-EX. As "X" Series material is already on order, it will not be possible for us to order this scheme for "X" Series. I therefore propose that we should instruct it for 7-EX. and experimentally only, and await Experimental Dept's report. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
