| TO HS. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c. to CJ. c. to BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} ORIGINAL EL/M14.9.23. RE. METHOD OF SUSPENDING ENGINE. X4604 Would you kindly note we regard the experiments in connection with the suspension of the 40/50 and Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) engines as very urgent, as until we know whether by the means proposed the torque reactions at the dashboard can be eliminated or diminished, the programme of design work will be to some extent held up.
