| To hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from R. {Sir Henry Royce} X.4083. RL/M26. 8. 22. TOOL EQUIPMENT FOR GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine))S, ETC X.4083. Naturally these should be as light as possible & nothing unnecessary, and all of good quality, well finished. The electricians pliers might be a size smaller. The box keys should have a fairly large hole for a good big tommy bar - these have been too small in the past. The open ended spanners - the 2 smallest sizes - should be single ended, short and suitable for an extension tube. Special spanners and tools for Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine))s should have the chassis name stamped upon them. The tool bag should be like a little brief bag, or like that on No.4. Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine))-11 with continuous fasteners. The small file for ignition should be in a little wooden box with tiny spanner and feeler. The toop equipment should be examined and criticised, and after correction should be sent to me for approval. All this tools should be stamped with the RR. trade mark so that they are known to belong to a RR. car. Let this part receive wise thought; it will pay to do it right once and then leave it alone. There is to be a very convenient ignition plug. R. {Sir Henry Royce} | ||
