| To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from R.{Sir Henry Royce} c. to LHS.{Lord Herbert Scott} C. c. to BJ. X8770 X.5770 X.8770 X.8830 R4/M3.6.26. I should like Works to let me have a 20 HP. while 7-EX is away. The body of this latter will need reconstructing so as to stiffen the scuttle, the post between the door and the post carrying the rear door, all of which flex and jelly so that the rear door does not keep closed and the instrument board has a movement which is alarming, and it squeaks. After Monday the 14th. June I would like the Goshawk: I want 7-EX until then. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
