| X.3524. To BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Da. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. to CJ. c. to Wor. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} c. to Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Dal/M13.7.22. GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) LUGGAGE GRID. X.3524. We send herewith our print of N.sch.1300 to which we have added in pencil a transverse stiffening stay. We believe that this grid will be found sufficiently rigid without this, but in case not, this stay should be used, and we have added a note to this effect. Would Derby kindly add this sketch and note to the original drawing and send us a fresh print, if possible by Saturday morning, or Monday at latest. It will be understood that this question of luggage grid is not settled until we have had a price from Derby, which must be below a certain figure, or the design will either require modification or abandoning altogether. Could the giving of this price be speeded up? Da. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
