| To BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Copy to EH. " EFC. {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} 7 APR 1919 ORIGINAL. RE BOX SPANNERS. E1/G5/4/19. (2) X.33/11 Referring to your memo BY {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} /JH2/T3419, would you kindly send to West Wittering(Henry Royce's home town), a set of these box spanners. It is, of course, understood that the application of this new spanner extends to the whole of our work, that is, it will be used in the tool kits of the cars as well as for aero engines, [text struck through], if it is recommended for standardisation. I make this remark because your memo above mentioned speaks of the application only of the spanners to aero engines. E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
