RE GOSHAWK CRANKCHAMBER. X4220

E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} is sending to By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} a drawing shewing 2 long bolts passing through the crankchamber close to the flywheel casing, and so better holding the rear end of the joint together, to prevent oil leak.

The crankchamber pattern will need altering before anymore are cast.

R.{Sir Henry Royce}
