RE ROAD SPRINGS FOR "GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) II" We have in this office, two rear road springs received from Messrs Woodheads for "Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) II", which have been made in accordance with a new method of my own for calculating springs. The springs have come out very satisfactory according to Messrs Woodheads test, and Mr Day wishes me to ask you to take one of them down to West Wittering(Henry Royce's home town) on your next visit, for inspection and criticism.
