Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} Da. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. to E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} R4/M1.2.22. RE HORNS X.1069. With reference to horns for our cars, some years ago we used to fit a logn horn with a deep note. I believe they were called Boa Constrictors. I think if we have not already done so, it would be advisable to get this type made standard for the Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)), and also used on other cars in larger or smaller sizes.
