RE: HORN FOR GOSHAWK.

We attach copy of memo to 'Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}' - reference Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}2/BM/20.3.22.

In addition to the Lucas type 38.T. horn which was fitted to the Goshawk Chassis with Mulliner Gwynne body, we also fitted a small cobre horn to the Goshawk Chassis with Hooper Limousine body.

The object of fitting up both, was with a view to obtaining experience and your recommendations as to which type we should adopt as standard.

Will you please therefore, let us have information on this point as soon as possible, as in view of the Goshawk position, we shall shortly be requiring to order horns together with other essential accessories.

Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}
