Extract

Before I begin, may I say how much I appreciate the honour of being invited by the Derby Branch of the Royal Aeronautical Society to give this Lecture. It is now eleven years since Mr. Evernden gave us the story of Henry Royce himself and an account of the idealism and inspiration which laid the foundations of the great firm that bears his name. Mindful of this and of the accomplishments of my predecessors, I approach my task in a spirit of great humility.
