| X4247 To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from R.{Sir Henry Royce} c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} R5/M10.1.23. RE. GOSHAWK GEARBOX X.4543 X.4247. The straight teeth, and the ground gears appear to make the box all that can be expected. I think these should be standardised. It means much more straight forward production, and unless extremely expensive, it should pay well. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
