| X4333 Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} LE18/H/30.6.22. Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) with Open Body for Mr. Royce ------------------------------------- We collected the above car from Hoopers and are arranging to deliver it to Mr. Royce at the Hotel Russell this afternoon at four o'clock. We find the commutator of the dynamo is completely broken up. Will you kindly arrange for a new one to be sent to Mr. Royce to replace the broken one. As Mr. Royce is taking the car away this afternoon, we are loaning him an Excide battery to carry as spare, should the battery fitted run out. Doubtless you will be hearing direct from Mr. Royce. I am writing you so that you will be able to prepare a new dynamo. J.L.E. | ||
