GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) 11. CHASSIS.
Referring to your C12/LH {Mr Haworth} 1.9.21. The interior drive type of body we have in mind is of a type similar to that fitted to the Humber Car. We wish, however, for the body to be of a type which is likely to be delivered to customers.
We recommend that when you have the design of this body, it is sent to R. {Sir Henry Royce} for approval.
