GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) 11. RE TYPE OF STEERING.

The pedals and steering which West Wittering(Henry Royce's home town) were pushing most were B type - we have now obtained particulars of D type - apparently there are only two positions being catered for. Have you any definite idea what is required for the six chassis we propose to build, do you think we should order three chassis B and three chassis D?

In regard to the first chassis, we have instructed B type, and take it that this will meet with West Wittering(Henry Royce's home town)'s requirements, as they appear to be more interested in the B type by doing this first before D. {John DeLooze - Company Secretary}
