Sidgreaves - MD} R.{Sir Henry Royce} WOR.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} C. to E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} PHANTOM 2. AND 25 HP. EXHAUST TAIL PIPES. X.7230 X.5230 With reference to HA/GWH{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux}1/AJ2631., we presume the increased cost of the W.V. scheme is due to the hinged support provided in this case, and not - if our information is correct - in the case of the Derby scheme. From the indications on the car here this support appeared to be very necessary. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
