| X.4261. Extract from RL/M21.8.22 6.Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)).11 X.4219. X.4086. ROAD SPRINGS. X.4261. No. 6. Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) 11. appears less flexible than 4-Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine))-11 It does not ride as comfortably at slow speeds, in fact one would say to some extent we had spoilt the springing of the car, and that 4-Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine))-11 was RR. springing and 6-Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine))-11 might be anybody's springing. We must mind we do not get shock dempers which cause harshness, or use too stiff springs. R. {Sir Henry Royce} | ||
