Sidgreaves - MD} WOR.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} BENSPORT. We send herewith N. sch. 3526 shewing the latest arrangement of gearbox and clutch etc, as preliminary set out. The gearbox and clutch, although fundamentally the same as those already sent to you, will be subject to constructional modifications, and will form the subject of schemes which will follow shortly. We are going ahead with the design of all the units. The scheme will however enable you to instruct the steering column. Will you please send us, and ElmsteadHenry Royce's home in West Wittering, the usual print, and return to us the original. DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
