| To EY. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} To Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X4256 Hsl/LG20. 2. 23. FAILURE OF GOSHAWK 11. AXLE. Mr. Schmidt's Car. We took the piece which had failed to W.W. on our last visit. Mr. Royce instructed that the aluminium box should be thickened up at the point where it had failed. You will, no doubt, receive a drawing from Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} shortly showing the proposed modification because it would appear a desirable alteration to get on the cars as soon as possible.
