| H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} FROM R.{Sir Henry Royce} C. to [redacted] HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} [redacted] CAR WORK. CROSS WORKS. X5380 I shall be greatly pleased if flanges (thickened) can be forged solid on drawn tubes suitable for the above. I always wished for them but feared they would get thin or split in the forging process. By all means try, and if possible send here some specimens of the largest and thickest flange that can be put on, say a 2" or 3" tube of average thickness. RECEIVED 31 DEC 2 | ||
