| TO HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM R.{Sir Henry Royce} c. to CJ. BJ. c. to WOR.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}BY. RE. "STORK" & "HERON" CHASSIS. X9770 With reference to your Hsl/LG29123., I fear these might delay "Seagull" at Derby. I prefer to use every hour of energy on pushing forward "Seagull". No time will be spent here on anything but "Seagull", until this is complete. I fear also that front wheel brakes may prove too great a temptation to keep off the road.
