moment some of the production Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) dynamos do not seem to
be coming out quite as well. Both these other machines
are of course single field winding third brush controlled,
we feel that the U.S.A. Bosch, although not well made to
external appearances, is nevertheless good electromagnetically.

It will be noted that in each case, the carcase
thickness is a good deal greater than we have on the Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)).

Output performances of one of the latest
production Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) dynamos are today being taken and so
far the results appear to be an improvement.
