| TO-... FROM R.{Sir Henry Royce} Copy to ... HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ORIGINAL R2/M1.12.25. DESIGN REPORT BY8/H271125. X2917 / 78050 One comment in your last report on design is an error. Regarding the aluminium head and cylinders for Phantom, E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} wrote you to some length on the 21st ult. with sketches. We do not consider we have gone sufficiently deeply into this matter, so that it is hardly fit to put in hand. If you are not able to act upon the sketches E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} sent, please let us know, and we will have the work done here. R.{Sir Henry Royce} RECEIVED 3 DEC 1925 8H | ||
