"GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine))" RADIATORS. X4240 X3606(crossed out)

We shall not be bumping a "Serck" Radiator until the bump chassis is fitted up with a new Frame, front axle, pivots, steering arms etc. It would appear, therefore, that it will be a fortnight or three weeks before we can give a definite report on the Serck Radiator.

From examination of the Radiator they have sent in, we think they have made a very good job of it and if it is necessary to order radiators immediately, we think the risk would be very little in ordering Serck Radiators.
