X4240 To Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}, from BI Copy to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} BJ1/H2.3.22. Hub Caps on Goshawk. X4240 X4249 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} [STAMP] 17 2 1922 RECEIVED C.J. was surprised to hear that camouflaged hub-caps had not been placed on the experimental Goshawks. Will you please arrange this as soon as possible. Any name will do (such as 'Cinderella') and underneath should be put 'New York'. If the chassis are ever likely to be run without the muffs, or if the muffs are ever likely to be removed in a public place or garage, a name-plate quite dissimilar in shape to the Rolls-Royce name-plate should also be fitted to all the radiators. This applies to all Goshawk experimental chassis. B.J. | ||
