| R.R. 235a (100 T) (S. G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} 643, 19-2-20) G 2618 To R from DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} Copy to RN.{Mr Robinson} Copy to EFC. X.9601 X4242 DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}2/CB27-11-20. Re "Goshawk" Starting Handle - "N" Sch: 653. We send you herewith a print of "N" Scheme 653 shewing the Starting Handle modified in accordance with Mr Elliott's memo E1/G5-11-20 and sketch. The starting lever may look a little weak but pro rata with the existing 40/50 it is in the ratio of 1.5 to 2, and the torques are in the neighbourhood of 1 to 2; so that it would appear to be allright.
