| X4084 10 BJ. from Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to Hm. {Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs} Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 7/LG23.11.22. RE. SPARES FOR 20 HP. CARS. X4084 X4219 With reference to your memo. BJ4/H23.11.22. At the present time we have at the Works only one modern 20 HP. experimental car. This is 7-Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine))-11. Apart from the fact that this car is constantly being used for experimental work, it also has recently been overhauled. For Hm {Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs} 's requirements it is necessary for him to have a modern car which has done a considerable amount of running. We have arranged for Hm. {Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs} to have 6-Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine))-11 car which is at present with Mr. Royce. We cannot get hold of that car until we have returned Mr. Royce's own car - 4-G-11. This car has been in use by the Sales Dept. for this last 6 or 7 weeks for trial runs. As soon as 4-G-11 is returned to the Works it is to be re-painted. We anticipate this will take a fortnight or 3 weeks; after that we shall return 4-Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine))-11 to Mr. Royce and Hm. {Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs} can have 6-Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine))-11 when it is returned from W.W. 6-Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine))-11 is a modern car which has run about 16,000 miles.
