X.4219 X.3706 GOSHAWK 11 CHASSIS. X.3426 X.4305 We hope to have the Goshawk 11 engine unit with clutch and gear box completed early next week. We suggest that Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} and myself bring this complete unit to West WitteringHenry Royce's home town so that the points in connection with it can be discussed with Mr. Royce before it is run because once we get it on the Test Bench, we shall not want to release it. We propose bringing it down on 5.EX Car which is a 40/50 chassis fitted with a 3-speed gear box. On this car we shall also have an exhaust heated throttle and a butterfly valve in the exhaust pipe.
