| X3456 BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} c. to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ROY{Sir Henry Royce}12/MG26.1.23 Attached is sample Radiator tube made up by Metals Reproduction Limited by Electro Deposition which they are putting forward for Radiator manufacture, claiming it as seamless, and of much higher conductivity and tensile strength than tubing made by ordinary processes. I think we are quite safe in saying that the Radiator tube we are drawing to-day from Messrs. Kynoch, made under the modified processes we have discussed on various occasions is a big advance on anything we have ever yet done - in fact the Radiator Shop here tell me the percentage of scrap tube they have to-day is negligible. Do you think it worth while carrying this Electro Deposition tube question further? ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} [Signature] ENCLOSURE. Sample of Tube.
