| ORIGINAL R.R. 235A (100 T) (S.H. 159, 11-8-20) G. {Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} 2800 TO HS. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM R. {Sir Henry Royce} R5/M15.9.25 GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) 1. ✓X4565 X.3481 X4263 With reference to Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) 1. I want this little chassis fitting up rather dif- ferently, which includes smaller dia. of wheels, and I want DA. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} and yourself to arrange that the front axle shall not turn over. If you are getting any fresh tyres, see that they are one of the small balloon sizes - about like those used on the Morris-Cowley. When this chassis is re-arrang- ed {J. L. Edwards} I want to compare it with G.3. This latter is delayed by something beyond my knowledge. R. {Sir Henry Royce} (RECEIVED 2 FEB 1952 Hº) | ||
