| Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} c. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} X5280. BY8/G.15.10.29. 20 HP. LONG FRAMES. The Order Office have again referred the question of the type of frame for 'R' series back to us for a decision. The position is that you will remember that R.{Sir Henry Royce} is pushing hard for the longer frame. Apparently, however, the standardisation sheets for some reason are not signed up. We will, however, have to have a decision without delay or there will be a break in production. RECEIVED BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} Br | ||
