RE GOSHAWK.

With reference to K1/M/1.12.22, concerning the alteration to starter/motor, I presume that this will be immediately tested in the most thorough way possible in the shortest possible time.

You will doubtless know what is the best way to test this - possibly it will be by arranging for someone to sit on a chassis and start it two hundred times an hour for two or three days consecutively. As this appears to be very important, will you kindly let us know what is decided?

E.J.
