| Y4273 To BJ. from R. {Sir Henry Royce} c. CJ. BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} c. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} EP. {G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} R1/M23.11.22. GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) FOR ABROAD. X.4079 X.4075 H273 All the cars for hot climates should have the ignition altered to that which is found to be best, either stabalite coil, improved mouldensite coil, or with new cooler position of coil. I have recommended that the magneto and wiring shall be fitted and in running condition, but the magneto permanently earthed, and the wiring also. R. {Sir Henry Royce} | ||
