| To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c. to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X4333 E2/M18.5.22. RECEIVED MAY 20 1922 X4333 GOSHAWK 11. COMMUTATOR. We should be glad if you could send down here the remains of the commutator which flew to bits on the Goshawk. You will remember that Mr. Day and myself were unable to see this when up in Derby, as for some reason or other it was not available. It might be possible to see in what manner the bakelite collapsed. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
