ORIGINAL

Dal/M20.5.22.

GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) 11. FRONT SHOCK ABSORBER. X4329

Please receive N.sch. 1280 shewing a modification to the aluminium base bracket, the length and diameter of the spring, the centre bolt, and the adjusting nuts, which Mr. Royce requires.

This is intended to supercede the modification shewn on N.sch. 1251.

We think the hole in the frame should be made as small as possible.
