| TO BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} FROM E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c. to HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} RE. GOSHAWK MAGNETO. ORIGINAL El/M4. 7. 23. K3551 Further to our last memo. on the question of the fitting of the small Watford standby magneto, Mr. Royce has decided that no alteration should be made to the Goshawk crankcases until such times as a big alteration is required, such as for example fitting larger crankshaft. We are proceeding therefore to design a bracket for the standby magneto to fit the existing crankcases, and you may therefore proceed to order existing crankcases. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
