RE "GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) 11" SIDE CHANNELS AND REAR SPRINGS. Owing to the difficulty of designing a sufficient-ly flexible rear road spring which will at the same time, give satisfactory axle control, Mr. Royce has decided to increase the length of the rear road springs from 50" to 56". We send you herewith drawing Lec.1331 shewing the modification it is intended to make to the rear end of the side channel. E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
