| X.4260 To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from R.{Sir Henry Royce} c. to CJ. BJ. Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} RG.{Mr Rowledge} PN.{Mr Northey} BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} RE. GOSHAWK. R3/M27.6.24. It was intended in Goshawk 111. to have a deeper frame. We however have decided to keep the frame the same depth, and only stiffen the ends, and continue to stiffen the centre part of the frame by tie-rods, which we think will be lighter and more effective.
