| C. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X3597 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/LG30.12.21. GOSHAWK 11. X3594 X4085 We should like to know whether there has been any definite policy agreed to as regards what accessories will be supplied with the Goshawk 11. chassis. We consider that we should standardise - Lamps, Speedometer, Clock, Spare wheel carrier and Jack. It is very essential that we should have this information because if there is any prospect of standardising the above mentioned parts, we can get the makers or suppliers to make them exactly to suit our requirements if, of course, we are not prepared to place any orders but simply promise them we will recommend their goods, we cannot expect the same attention. It is also very essential on the Goshawk that the Instrument Board should be standardised because we have carburetter controls ignition switch etc. fixed to the board. It is very difficult to standardise the board unless we supply all the instruments. We should be very pleased if you will let us know as early as possible what will be the policy in connection with these fittings. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
