| TO EHC. CJ. HJ.PH.) FROM R. {Sir Henry Royce} R2/A23.11.22. MS. BY.HY. {Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} ) X4273 ORIGINAL X4273 NO. 6. GOSHAWK. We have changed the coil on this car to a stabalite cased one (40/50). It has improved the car immensely. Evidently many mis-fires previously attributed to carburation do not now exist. The car is faster and sweeter, and altogether more satisfactory. My disappointment expressed to HS. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} of want of power has now been removed. R. {Sir Henry Royce} | ||
