| X 4136 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} RECEIVED MAR 8 1921 To-R from DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. to E.H. c. to E.O. DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}12/CB7-3-21. X 4136 Re Goshawk I & Clutch & Brake Pedals. X 4136 / X 3598 We send herewith a print of "N" Scheme 780 shewing the above pedal gear made along the lines of the design for Goshawk II, which we understood to be your intention from R1/G15-2-21. With reference to your R1/G15-3-21, we should like to say that we had noticed the 3/8" bolt on our schemes 737 and 751, and should have altered them before we sent them to you, except for the fact that the levers were already in existence, having been made to a design made a considerable while ago. The same remark applies to the clutch operating shaft mounted on spherical bearings, and which we also left because it was in existence, and it appeared to be more expensive to change it than to leave it as it was. On "N" Scheme 780 we have, however, modified both these points in accordance with what we understand to be your wishes, and new pieces can be made or not, as you wish.
