| FROM R HS. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ) (At Le Canadel(Henry Royce's French residence).) DA {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} /EV. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} ) [Struck out] C. to SG. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} WOR. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} [Struck out] BY E.R. [Struck out] R2/M22. 2. 29. REC'D AT WW. 25.2.29. AUTOVAC. X3579 [Struck out] X7510 [Struck out] My two level device for this could be better carried out as EV. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} suggests by modification to the cork faced tap. (While his drawing was in my house exactly the same scheme was passing through my mind, like thought reading, but I may have caught a glimpse at it.) I should like it arranged slightly different in detail. To stop we should always turn fully to the R. {Sir Henry Royce} Stop that can be pressed down. Diagram Labels: Main. Off. Reserve. R | ||
