| 2 Techs. from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} [Crossed out text] ORIGINAL EG/07/3D21. 8 MAR 1921 RECEIVED X.4265 RE 'GOSHAWK II' SIDE STEERING TUBE. Referring to N. scheme 754, Mr. Royce thinks that this is now generally satisfactory, but there are two points he would like made similar to the 'Buzzard', as follows:- (1) The forward ball joint should be horizontal in side elevation. (2) The forward ball joint should be inclined 2 1/2° outwards looking forward in the plan view. Would you kindly make these alterations, and proceed. | ||
