X.3730 Referring to Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) 1 Mr. Royce thinks that this car ought to come to him, and should be fitted with a suitable two or four-seater body so that it can be thoroughly tested and compared with Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) 11. The frame is at present shorter than it should be for the wheelbase. Mr. Royce wants particulars sent to West Wittering(Henry Royce's home town) for the purpose of laying out the body.
