| X.2048 To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from R.{Sir Henry Royce} Copy to CJ. X. 4155. X. 2048. R3/G24.6.20. I shall be glad to know if you suggest building a single cylinder engine for the "Buzzard" and 20 H.P. for you to test out cylinders, valves pistons, connecting rods, etc. If so, I should very much like such an engine for may little power plant here, namely, single cylinder 3" x 4 1/4". Kindly ask Mr. Wormald if such an engine could be made for me without materially affecting the production of experimental parts of more importance, so that I may ask J's permission for putting one or two in hand.
