COPY. To Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} from CJ. Goshawk. CJ5/E28/9/23. R.{Sir Henry Royce} finds the dampers on the Goshawk quite a distinct improvement - Much vibration has gone. He considers that they are so harmless that they can be fitted at once to production and especially urgently to demonstration cars. If it is considered by you, Rg.{Mr Rowledge}, BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} and Hsl that this alteration can be made without the necessity of 10,000 miles' trial, please instruct at once and kindly arrange that Sales should have this alteration made immediately to all Goshawk demonstration cars, including those of agents.
