X.4263 RE GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) II Please receive herewith three blue prints of "N" Scheme 690 showing the arrangement of Front Axle Cross Steering Tube for Michelin disc wheels, which has been approved by Mr Royce. A scheme showing the housing for the front springs will be sent later on. It will be noticed that though the joint for the cross steering tube is similar to that for Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) I, it is not exactly the same, the outer sleeve having been modified by being split on one side only. Please put details in hand. DA. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
