| X4216 To EFC {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} from DA. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} DA {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} 20/CB11-1-21. I return herewith the combined starter and lighter which you sent to us some little while ago. I believe that it is now decided that this invention does not interest us at the moment but when it comes to a question of cost on such a chassis say as "GoshawkAero EngineCodename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after KestrelAero Engine II", there is just the possibility that Mr Royce might be sufficiently interested to design something of his own along these lines.
