| X4400 Roy. {Sir Henry Royce} c. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} BY {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} /C25/H. 27. 3. 23. ENOTS LUBRICATORS. -------------------- In reply to Roy {Sir Henry Royce} /CEA6/RJ. 13.3.23. we have given consideration to the question of using Messrs Benton & Stone's standard size hexagons also their standard finish, and have decided that we should insist on having the same size hexagons as previously supplied, also the same finish, as the smaller hexagons suggested would not give us sufficient face to make a good joint, and Messrs Benton & Stone's finish is not in keeping with our standard nickel silver finish. We return the samples herewith. BY {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} /C. | ||
