It would appear to the Works Committee, after having gone into all these figures carefully, that at a fair estimate a 20HP. engine of the Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) type, would cost anyway at least 85% of the cost of an engine of a similar design, of the 40/50HP. type.
