| X4256 To Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} (Mr. Warwick.) from Da. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} Dal/M23.3.22. We should like to see a 12 tooth back axle pinion for the Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)). This would help us in the design of the Peregrine(Experimental Bentley car never produced / Aero Engine) pinion which is now nearly completed. The pinion need not be finished in any way except as regards the teeth. Da. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} [signature] | ||
