| X1775 To Hy{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer}: From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry{Shadwell Grylls}: Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry{Shadwell Grylls}:4/KT:24.11.33: You once gave me permission to show Mr. A.C. Bertelli designer of Aston Martin's round the works. He was at that time unable to come, but expects to be in Derby in about a fortnights time. Can he go round the works then? Further he told me he was thinking of getting a Trebel balancing machine and wondered whether he might balance a crankshaft on our machine, having been told by the makers that we are using one. Is this possible please? Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} | ||
