| X4084 Hm {Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs} , from Test Dept. c. to Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Thn6/HS. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 15.12.22. re. Spares for 20 H.P. Cars. With reference to your Hm {Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs} 9/W28/AH.22, we attach herewith a list of spares which we recommend should be carried in Australia to look after 12 Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) cars. The spares in question are what we consider to be required for this number of cars to deal with accidents, failures and breakdowns on the road. With regard to the spares which might be required to replace the parts which are most susceptible to wear, we are afraid we have hardly had sufficient experience with the Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) to make any useful recommendations. We feel that Mr. Hives would be better able to help you in this direction. Thn. | ||
