5-GOSHAWK-II CHASSIS.

X3730
X4229

We are returning this chassis to Messrs. Young on Monday. Since we have had the car at the Works we have brought the engine right up to date by fitting a new Camshaft and other small features.

We have also fitted the latest type luggage grid to this chassis. We understand BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} has sent you a criticism in regard to this matter.

The chassis is also fitted with tie rods.
