We send you herewith drawings Nos. LeC 1588 and 1605 giving you particulars of the radiator and shutters operated automatically by thermostat for the Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)). These cancel any previous drawings sent.
We will send you next week particulars of a modification to the plate which attaches the front cross member to the frame to accommodate the new radiator. The bonnet will be approximately ½" shorter owing to the matrix having been moved back.
