| BJ. from R.{Sir Henry Royce} c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c. to DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} C. X3806 R3/M3.3.28. 20 HP. INDIA 3. NEXT 10,000 MILER. X.3806 X.5770 X.5840c I am doing my best to get the above on the road quickly; one condition is that it shall have central oiling. Really I am only very keen on this as a Sales requirement, because or cost, complication, and whether it will do the work satisfactorily without spilling much oil on the garage floor and elsewhere. It will not make the car go any better. It will only save the drivers' time. We are fitting at the same time universal joints on the propeller shaft that are effectively oil retaining (known as Mechanic's type). Will DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} see that Derby have satisfactory instructions for these: (I don't remember). They should follow exactly what we do for EAC.10 = 8., to be knwon as 'SS{S. Smith}', (meaning 'Super Sports'). R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
