WOR.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} 20HP. & 40/50 SEQUENCE STARTER. R7/M2.11.26 X5650 (handwritten, struck through) X7650 X7655 (handwritten) HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} suggests we try our simplified sequence starter on the 20HP. because the present RR. Bijur is not entirely satisfactory. This would be ungeared but would require electro-magnetic switch. Will Mr. Stent make a rough sketch of what room and parts are needed? Also we await Derby's test of the starter on EAC. 1. with nearly parallel keys. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
