| Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}/Mcr9/L28214. Re Dermatine Joint Washers. X.916. R.{Sir Henry Royce} 28-2-14. You will remember that Mr Hives reported favourably on the above and recommended them for standardization on 26/1/14 and you confirmed his opinion on 29/1/14. We therefore immediately ordered up several sets to be tested on various engines, one set of which should have been fitted to chassis 7CA for 10,000 mile test but the Order Office were unable to obtain these in time, but we are to-day despatching a set to you. Will you kindly issue instructions for these to be fitted to 7CA with a view to standardization. p. Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} | ||
