Handwritten: X.3561 Handwritten: EFC DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}1/CB3-11-20. Handwritten: X.3561 Re "Goshawk" Bonnet. When designing the radiator we found it desirable to increase the width and this has upset the bonnet which we sent to you on "N" Scheme 110. In detailing your bonnet you may have taken the radiator into account but in any case we send you herewith two further prints of "N" Scheme 638 shewing the bonnet modified to suit the enlarged radiator. We have also taken the opportunity of slightly modifying the hinges. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
