RE "GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) II". X4222 X4244 With reference to the undershield for the engine, Mr. Stent is at present busy on this, and it seems to make a very simple job. We are endeavouring to hold it up some-what on the same lines as the Buick, which was thought to be very convenient, and satisfactory. With reference to the half time wheelcase for pro-duction chassis, this Mr. Jenner hopes to send you to-morrow. You will remember that you have already received a temporary one for the present chassis suitable for the con-version of the combined spring drive into a separate spring drive and damper flywheel.
