In accordance with Mr. Royce's wishes, would you kindly put in hand an arrangement drawing of the "Eagle" engine. This drawing should be of the usual type showing two sectional elevations and plan to half scale, and is intended for publication in a book which is being written by Major Evans. So far as we know at Wittering, there is no arrangement drawing of this type in existence at Derby, and Mr.Royce has written to Major Evans promising to supply one in about a month's time, and stating that he is arranging for you to put an efficient man on the job.
