| TO HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM R.{Sir Henry Royce} ORIGINAL R2/M1.12.23. c.c. to CJ. BJ. re. LE CANADELHenry Royce's French residence [Handwritten, crossed out] X4219 [Handwritten, crossed out] 79940 For the first part of the time at Le CanadelHenry Royce's French residence I should prefer the Goshawk with the Beatonson body - 5.G.11. but I do not want to take this if it is of any use to the Sales, in which case I should like the brown Goshawk - 4.G.11. While I am at Le CanadelHenry Royce's French residence I should like a 40/50 fitted with EAC. engine and front wheel brakes. The principle object of the EAC. engine is carburation, and with the brakes experimental experience. I expect to arrive at Toulon Dec. 19. - Grand Hotel mid-day. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
