| R & try Delage & GII R. {Sir Henry Royce} from Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to CJ. c. to Wor. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} X1698 GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) II. DELAGE CAR. RE. VISIT TO WEST WITTERING(Henry Royce's home town). We propose bringing the Delage Car to W.W. next week - we also propose bringing the Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) at the same time. We shall arrive at W.W. on Thursday morning. We thought that Mr. Royce might wish to keep the Delage Car at W.W. for a time. There are several points in connection with the Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) and the Delage Car which could be profitably discussed. The proposal is that Hy. {Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} shall drive one car and myself the other. Will Mr. Royce please say whether this arrangement will suit him.
