"GOSHAWKAero EngineCodename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after KestrelAero Engine II" We send you herewith drawing No. LeC.1469. We have already sent you a blue print from this scheme, but owing to Mr. Royce requiring the cutout so arranged as to be removable without disturbing the distribution board, it has been necessary to make some modifications to the shape of the casing, etc. We should therefore be glad if you would carefully go over this drawing to make sure that any details already prepared will be in agreement with it, E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
