GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) 11. SLIPPER FLYWHEELS. X4221

With reference to the above Mr. Royce thinks that we shall have to make these in steel, and bush them on the spigots.
This metal should give less trouble as regards running balance, and very possibly will have sufficient damping effect without increasing the dimensions.
