| E& RG.{Mr Rowledge} from R.{Sir Henry Royce} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} [Handwritten:] X7230 R5/M15.2.29. MR. ELLIOTT'S VISIT TO LE CANADELHenry Royce's French residence. X.7770 X.7230 XX̶7̶0̶3̶5̶ X.3994 It was thought good if Mr. Elliott came here for a few days about the middle of this month. Perhaps the car for the second SS.{S. Smith} 10,000 miles test will soon be coming, and he might like to come with it, either all the way, or to some point on the railway if it is not coming here, but one thinks it would be best for us to see it together. Between you settle when, and who. I am very anxious to get the engine mounting and exhaust finished. Our exhaust is not really bad, and we must not spoil what we have got in other features - power and freedom from silencer explosions. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
