| ORIGINAL TO HS. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM R. {Sir Henry Royce} c. to CJ. BJ. [Handwritten:] X3730 [crossed out] X4219 X4538 Please fit up all proposed experimental pieces for me to see on either No.4. or No.6. Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)). Both are open bodies (I am assuming). I do not want to see the Maythorn saloon until it is lightened, especially in the roof; though the complete car with passengers is not over weight, the body is beyond our standard weight [Handwritten insertion: Saloon is] of 9 cwt. with accessories. Park Wards' are quoted at under 8 cwt. R. {Sir Henry Royce} | ||
