X.B481. RE "GOSHAWK" I CHASSIS.

It is increasingly important that we should get the "Goshawk" together and on the road, so that we can criticise it at the first possible minute.

As soon as the frame, engine, back and front axles, can be put upon the chassis, I should like Mr. Elliott and others to criticise it to say wherein the proportions seem not the best.
