X. 4410) "GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine))" 11. DISTRIBUTION BOARD AND CUT-OUT
X. 4421) SECTION 8170.

With a view to overcoming the earthing trouble on the above Unit, will you kindly have made up two small flaps similar to the sketches handed to you and fit to a Distribution Board. We think that perhaps these will serve as a reasonable protection when putting on and taking off the Aluminium Cover.

Will EFC. {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} kindly inspect the Board and give his opinion.
