To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from AJS. c. to R.{Sir Henry Royce} X.5310 S E C R E T. AJS1/M.9.1.25. GOSHAWK 3 - FOUR SPEED BOX. As this box is to be brought into production immediately we suggest that the reverse shaft and gear be thoroughly tested, as it is our opinion that this is relatively the weakest part of the running mechanism.
