| X4617 To ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} c. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}1/KT.29.7.33. MILENITE BRAKE DRUMS - ROY{Sir Henry Royce}/MS8/P21.7.33. We think we should try a set of drums made by the new process on both the Bentley and 40/50. The latter with wider front drums we can test shortly on 27-EX in France. Will you therefore please order for us 2 drums to each of the following piece numbers - G.100416. G.79502. G.100981. G.80359. We suggest that Lake & Elliott also send us a test bar made by such process. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} | ||
