Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X4469 Rg{Mr Rowledge}/Tsn6/LW.27. 1. 30 NITROALLOY PUMP SPINDLES Referring to BY11/J.3/1. 30, we should like you to put in hand in nitralloy 2 spindles for the water pump and two spindles and gears for the petrol pump for both "F" and "H" (8 spindles in all). One set should be fitted to development engines and the other reserved for incorporation in future type tests. We understand water pump spindles have already been run on the cars with good results. These spindles should be made completely at Rolls-Royce Works. Rg{Mr Rowledge}/Tsn. | ||
