| ORIGINAL TO SJ. FROM R. {Sir Henry Royce} S E C R E T. R2/M17.10.23 C. to WGR. C. to HW. C. to HS. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} A. {Mr Adams} C. AND GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) ENGINES. x9770 x4219 We have gone further than most designers to make the engine units accessible. For instance in our design and method of support it is comparatively easy to take off the wheel- case and to take down the lower half. This should be an advantage to the production, espec- ially in consideration of the work needed to produce a uniformly high degree of perfection and silence. R. {Sir Henry Royce} | ||
