| Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} -2- 22.3.22. report is to be made out by these people so no doubt you will receive a copy direct, if not, I will send you on a copy as soon as we receive it here. As regards modernising the limousine 3-Goshawk-II. It is practically impossible at this stage to make this like 4/5/6/7-Goshawk-II but we propose that this should be modernised so that the appearance and performance should be comparable with these cars. We propose fixing wire wheels, latest type brake drums and liners with sunk-in rivet heads, an engine which gives similar performance for power etc. as the above mentioned cars and, if CJ. still wishes it, the S.U. Carburetter. EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} | ||
