Rs.{Sir Henry Royce's Secretary} from R.{Sir Henry Royce} +4565 R5/M15.9.25. GOSHAWK 1. X.3481 X.4263 x.4565 With reference to Goshawk 1. I want this little chassis fitting up rather differently, which includes smaller dia. of wheels, and I want DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} and yourself to arrange that the front axle shall not turn over. If you are getting any fresh tyres, see that they are one of the small balloon sizes - about like those used on the Morris-Cowley. When this chassis is re-arranged I want to compare it with G.3. This latter is delayed by something beyond my knowledge. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
