| S.S. 192 (M) H(BD {Mr Berend} 296. 15.9.17) M.P. 178549. contd:- -3- in the hands of customers. Steering. This complaint has also been brought forward very seriously by Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} on 4-Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine))-ll and appears to be a point to which we shall have to give very serious attention. Extra friction is suggested and Warwick has suggested trying friction washers to the front pivots made up of bonded Ferodo Asbestos in place of fibre and this we propose trying on 2-Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine))-ll which is also very bad in this respect.
