| contd:- -3- This is rather interesting in view of the trouble we are experiencing here. Could you please confirm this. As regards the silencer vibration. Were you able to cure this? On 3-Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine))-11 and other Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine))s following, the bracket is fixed to the front of the silencer and we do not experience this trouble on test. We are anxiously waiting to receive the faulty coil which we wish to investigate as EFC. {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} points out that on later coils, the insulation of the primary winding is much improved and we are anxious to know whether the failure is one which will be overcome by this improvement. Water circulation. I enclose copy of report we have sent out re. loss of water from engine of which particulars have been obtained by TMW. The facts were obtained with a Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) radiator which passes 9 galls. per minute, whereas I understand that the Sales Dept. are not yet satisfied with the pedal position on 3-Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine))-11 (limousine) and a report has been made out by Ev. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} , copy of which is now in R's hands.
