| To Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from BJ. BJ10/H6.2.23. X4085 Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)). Spare Wheel Fitting. You will remember at Richmond we discussed the desirability of having a fitting which would not unscrew itself to keep the spare wheel in place at the back of the car. I told you that the fitting had come right off whilst I was driving. I have just heard that it has come off again. I understand that you are giving this matter careful consideration, to see what can be done to prevent this for the future. B.J. RECEIVED Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FEB 7 1923 | ||
