| HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM R.{Sir Henry Royce} CONFIDENTIAL RO{C. C. Rose - Export Manager}/W6.12.32. Sent off 9.12.32. 82677. C. to [text obscured by strikethrough] PETROL PUMPS. Referring to HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/RM{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}13/MA21232. I am very pleased to hear that you have some more promising material for the petrol pump diaphragm. You will remember that I never had much faith in the A.{Mr Adams} C. material, and I had the impression that the electrically driven petrol pump had a corrugated diaphragm (sylphon type). I should be happier if we could have the same. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
