RE "GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) II" GEAR BOX.
The inspection plugs shewn on LeC.1360 were intended for the oil level, the plug at the top being the filler plug. If it is thought that these are hardly convenient enough, one of the plugs may carry a cock.
R. {Sir Henry Royce}
