| Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X4329 BY5-P2.10.22. GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) 11. FRONT SHOCK ABSORBER. I did not realise that we had not told you that we were making tne Base which was previously made in aluminium as a die casting in aluminium bronze. Your note, Hsl/LG8922 drew this to my attention - you will certainly not have any further trouble from breakages of the Base. BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} RECEIVED OCT 21 1922 | ||
