| Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} MAY 17 1922 RECEIVED X4263 BY4/H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} 18. 5. 22. GOSHAWK II FRONT AXLE RE FORWARD INCLINATION OF PIVOTS I would like to draw your attention to the fact that on our drawing we have not any increased rake specified for front pivot over that conveyed to the axle by the total inclination of the spring from front to rear. I believe that you have had to considerably increase the pivot rake, and if this is the case, would you kindly let us know exactly what has been done so that we can bring the drawings into line.
