| To DY. {F R Danby} } from R. {Sir Henry Royce} WOR. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} Copy to CO. EFC. {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} ORIGINAL R5/G10/5/21. (3 X 3513 RE PARTS IN BAKELITE. X.2641 I can see on the Push Button Switch for the Starter Motor (Lec.381) a piece of moulded ebonite which looks as though it would be an excellent small piece for your first experimental piece in bakelite. If, however, this is being made satisfactorily, we ought to make an effort to make some other part, a supply of which we are wanting. R. {Sir Henry Royce} | ||
