GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) 1. BATTERY IGNITION.

We send you herewith drawing No.Lec 1616 shewing the adaption of Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) 11. battery ignition to Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) 1. chassis.

You will notice that although we have used the same existing casting for the tower it has been necessary to put a new cap in the bottom containing a ball bearing. We hope you will be able to use the existing bronze casting for the governor spindle.

E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer}
