| To HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} 328' c. LA.{L. A. Archer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}1/AP.20.9.37 FLEXIBLE ENGINE COUPLING - Ph.III. Will you please rebuild the coupling which ran on 32-EX. and which, at the moment, is instructed for fitting to 39-EX, and then hand it to LA{L. A. Archer} in the Test Dept. He will then decide, by fitting it on several cars, whether it is worthwhile accepting some scrap in the Works in order to get it on Production a Series earlier. When LA.{L. A. Archer} has finished with it, we will fit it to 39-EX. for the French test. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} | ||
