| To R.{Sir Henry Royce} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ORIGINAL. HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}6/LG21.11.22. X3408 X4219 We propose coming to W.W. next week. We shall bring the Hawk Northcliffe, which we will leave at W.W., and also 7-Goshawk-11 which will be fitted with the following new pieces :- 1. Magneto. 2. Bijur Bendix Drive. 3. Radius rods on front axle. We shall also bring with the car a radiator with the shutters integral with the radiator. This also has plated shutters instead of black ones. We propose, on our way back from W.W., to call at London so that they may have an opportunity of examining the car with the magneto fitted and also to enable them to judge the appearance of the radiator with the shutters integral. We shall also fix on to the car the best we know of at the time, as regards coils. We propose that Rg.{Mr Rowledge} drives one of the cars down to W.W. and I either drive the other car at the same time or arrive at W.W. the following day, whichever would suit you the best.
