ROY {Mr H. Royce - Buyer} 7/AG16.5.25.

Attached is copy of a Paper read by Mr. Whipple, of the Cambridge Instrument Company (the only copy I have) which may be of interest.

Mr. Whipple suggests the Accelerometer might be of interest in Axle Spring testing, checking the comfort of Tyres etc, and tells me the Torsionmeter is being used by the Armstrong Siddeley people in Aero Engine work.

Would Eg kindly pass on the booklet.
