| BJ. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}3/LG26.7.22. GOSHAWK RADIATOR. Referring to your BJ11/H25.7.22. We shall be able to send a Goshawk car fitted with temporary shutters to London either on Tuesday or Wednesday next week. It should be pointed out to the Sales that the temporary shutters which we propose fitting to the chassis are nothing-like the permanent scheme which is being designed for this car. It would not be right to try and judge the appearance of the ultimate design by means of them As regards the temporary scheme of shutters which it is proposed to use on the first cars produced. So far we have not received the design from WW. so we cannot tell whether the set we are temporarily fittingup are anything like those which are being designed. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
