| To BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Da {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} /Ev. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} c. to CJ. Wor. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} c. to Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} LHS. {Lord Herbert Scott - Chair} for Sp. {Mr Spinney} X.3524. Da {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} /Ev {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} 2/m28.6.22. GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) - RE LUGGAGE GRID X.3524. We send herewith N.sch.1300 shewing a luggage grid for the Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)). The design is liked by Sales, and we would therefore like an experimental car tube fitted with this grid in conjunction with the wheel carrier, and tested either over very bad roads, or on the bumping rig. Will Derby please check this drawing by setting out the grid with the correct carrier for Dunlop wire wheels, and if any radical change in design is necessitated, inform WW. Since it is probable that we shall sell this grid as an extra, we wish Derby to quote us a price at which they can supply grids in quantities to Sales. Please supply Sales with 3 prints of this scheme, for their information. Da {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} /Ev. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
