| - 3 - R.1/HP.21.7.34. In making this proposal I do not mean it in any way to slow up the programme we have in mind. The normal safety first design would go ahead, and would be closely followed up by the more novel type of power unit. I have discussed this matter with hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} and he is in agreement with me regarding the desirability of having both types of engine available for the Wraith and Bentley programme.
