X.4359. RE DYNAMOS FOR "GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) II". X.4383,

With reference to your memo EFC {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} 2/T11/11/21, I should like to make ours to equal C.A.V. and then be content for a time.

Please arrange to let me see the models and prices of the two best machines, i.e. Lucas S.F. and C.A.V.

* I cannot understand why our own has not been made by now. *

R. {Sir Henry Royce}
