| TO DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c. to GH. c. to OF. c. to HY.{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} c. to HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} (Le CanadelHenry Royce's French residence.) ORIGINAL. 2 EL/H20.4.22. GOSHAWK 11. UNDERSHIELD. X 4277 We send you herewith drawing Lec 1553 shewing the baffle we propose for keeping out the mud on the Goshawk 11. undershield, at the pendulum lever slot. We propose to modify the shape of the pendulum lever slot as shewn, making it large at the rear end to allow of the passage of the lower end of the pendulum lever. We should be glad if Derby would confirm that the steering can be conveniently erected with/slot, and that it is possible to remove the undershield side plate in the event of damage without interfering with the steering box.
