RE SPEEDOMETER FOR GOSHAWK II.

DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}7/CB24-1-21.

Replying to your HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/TMW2/LG17-1-21, we have as yet, no information about Goshawk II which will enable us to give you the particulars required. As regards Goshawk I however, you may wish to order a similar speedometer for this chassis, and if so, the speed of the flexible shaft is 1154 revs to the mile, and the length of the flexible cable required is approximately 7 feet.
