GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) 11. POSITION OF "B" TYPE PEDALS.

We take it that we shall receive instructions as regards the pushing of "B" type pedals forward in the same manner as the "D" type. We have now run the Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) with the Hooper limousine body for some distance; we consider it is essential that the pedals should be modified to get reasonable comfort.
