| To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from R.{Sir Henry Royce} c. to CJ. BJ. c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} X4262 RL/MS.7.22. GOSHAWK 1. X.3481 X.3408. X.4262 X.1692. Will you please arrange for the above to be sent down here, fitted with the simple body which was made for it, and used temporarily on the D.F.P. Also please send the Hawk-Northcliffe chassis with body so that it can be used conveniently. This will leave you the Marmon and others. We are expecting to return to you the Delage and the Fiats so that they may be sold. There will be certain parts to fit to make both these more workable cars. We want them because they contain features which are very interesting to use in the designs we have in hand. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} will send word about the work which is required should be embodied in each engine - the rest of the chassis we assume is passably good. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
