| To-Ds. from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Copy to HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} HY{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} ORIGINAL RECEIVED MAR 21 1921 E2/017/3/21 X4266 RE "GOSHAWK II" PETROL TANK. We send you herewith drawing No. Lec.1367 showing a design of petrol tank based on the method of pressing in two halves as suggested by Mr. Foy, and as used on some American chassis. The dimensions given on Lec.1367 are *not* those that will be actually used for "Goshawk II", since Mr. Royce now proposes to enlarge the tank from ten gallons to twelve gallons, but Mr. Royce would like you to send a blue print of this drawing to Mr. Foy and get his opinion of the practicability of the shape for pressing purposes. The final tank will be sent in due course. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} RECEIVED MAR 18 1921 Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
