| 4 Extract from Memo. from R.{Sir Henry Royce} to CJ. To CJ from R.{Sir Henry Royce} PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL. TO DIRECTORS ONLY. R1/M30/11/23 My dear CJ., If you or my Co-Directors wish, I except to be able to attend the Board Meeting suggested for the 7th prox. in London, but as the general election on the 6th Dec. is of some considerable importance I shall be glad if you will re-arrange the date if necessary to clear this event, unless it is in the afternoon. I am quite satisfied that the matter of 3 or 4 speeds is beyond my control. .............................. Yours ever, (in sadness) R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
