| W/S. {Derby Works / Sales} X. 3730 To C. from Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 3/LG12.8.21. X180 X3730 CLOSED TYPE BODY FOR GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) 11. I take it that the design for this Body will be submitted to R. {Sir Henry Royce} before it is ordered. I think he is anxious to criticise all types of Body for Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) 11. and as the body is going on to the experimental chassis which Mr. Royce will certainly see and most probably use, we would like to have something that he has agreed on.
