| LHS.{Lord Herbert Scott}for Sp.{Mr Spinney} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X4086 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}4/LG18. 8. 5. 22. GOSHAWK 11. WIND SCREEN. X4086 X1087 Hy.{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} has reported from France that the top portion of the wind screen fitted to 6-Goshawk-11 car which has a Mulliner Open Body, broke in pieces when the car was travelling at 50 M.P.H. Hy.{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} suggests and we agree, that it would be much safer if the top portion of the windscreen was made in two halves so as to avoid the large sheet of glass vibrating.
