| TO BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} FROM R. {Sir Henry Royce} c. to WOR. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} HS. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} R5/M10.1.23. RE. GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) GEARBOX. X4543 X4247 The straight teeth, and the ground gears appear to make the box all that can be expected. I think these should be standardised. It means much more straight forward production, and unless extremely expensive, it should pay well. R. {Sir Henry Royce} [Stamp: ORIGINAL RECEIVED] | ||
