RE "GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) II".

With reference to "Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) II", I think the running to test this from a road point of view might be made between here and Derby, the reason being that I could see it with your representative while on its journey, and observe the efficiency of any particular device we had fitted as an improvement.

R. {Sir Henry Royce}
