| To-BJ. from E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c. to HS. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} E1/M18.9.22. RE. GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) RECEIVED 19 SEP 1922 In reply to your memo. BJ2/C29822, regarding the publication of the Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) particulars in the Press on Oct. 1st, would you kindly note that Mr. Royce wishes the technical description to be prepared at WW. This is being put in hand. Also he thinks that photographs of the parts of the chassis should not be shewn until we are sure that the patents are in order. This is being attended to. Further, Mr. Royce has no objection to being photographed in the Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)). He would prefer it to be in No.4. Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) II. We will see if there are any photographs in existence that would be suitable, or make the necessary arrangements to have some taken. E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
