"GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) II"
WIRING - SEC: 7360.

With reference to our memo' BY {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} /HEB {H. Biraben} 3/W.16/8/22. in which we gave the lengths and sizes of the various Cables used on the "Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine))" Chassis.-

Please note, the length of 22/38's Workshop Black Twin Cable (Spec: 263) should read 6ft. instead of 15ft.

Also, the length of 70/36's Single Core Black Cable (spec: 261) should read 18ft. instead of 7ft.

Will you kindly order Cables in accordance with the above.

This alteration is due to the Works using 70/36's Single Core Cable for the Klaxon in place of Workshop Twin.

This represents an improvement in the Wiring, and it has been decided to continue using 70/36's Single Core Cable.
