| To Ps. Paris. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} N1221 Hsl/LG29.3.27. Psl/JP25.3.27. With reference to the special lock nuts which I inspected when I was in Paris. It would be impossible to make use of these on either our motorcar or aero engines. We think the scheme is very ingenious and no doubt there is a wide range of conditions for whivh it is admirably suited. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
