| R.R. 235a (100 T) (S.H. 798. 10-12-20) G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} 2948 TO HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM R.{Sir Henry Royce} c.c. to BJ. ORIGINAL RECEIVED 12 JAN R7/M10.1.23. X3923 X3548 6. EX. This is an excellent car, but could be slightly less noisy in the gears, especially the back axle. I refer particularly to the back axle, and I think perhaps the timing gears. I understand that it is proposed to sell this car complete as it now stands, because we are expecting to have a "Stork", "Heron", and "Seagull", round soon. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
