RE. PEREGRINE MODEL. X.4405 X.4293 We send herewith N.sch. 1258 shewing the model Peregrine chassis and plaeton body. We should very much like to have had one of these models made and sent down here so that Mr. Royce could see one next week. We have shewn Lec. disc wheels because it simplifies the model making; we have shewn the inside of the body slightly scalloped out so as to define the plan of the body a little more than has been done on the previous models. In other respects the model should follow the lines of those of the Goshawk and 40/50. Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} MADE AT CROWLEY P.S. In order to expediate the manufacture of this model we suggest that a print of our drawing be issued direct to the pattern shop. | ||
