| To Roy.{Sir Henry Royce} from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c. to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} c. to BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} X.4240. E2/MO.5.22. RE. GOSHAWK 11. RADIATOR. X.4240 I much regret that it was impossible for me to call and see you in your office as arranged while I was in Derby. I particularly wanted to see the Goshawk radiator which has turned out to be so heavy. Perhaps it would be worth while to take the radiator to pieces and find out by actually weighing it where the excess of metal occurs. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
