X.4244 RE "GOSHAWK II" - CLUTCH. ORIGINAL D I R5/G23/2/21.1921 RECEIVED With reference to the clutch for "Goshawk II", we believe that an error has arisen that the pressure plate was to be made of wrought steel drop forging instead of a cast- ing of iron, semi-steel, brass, bronze, or aluminium-bronze, using the least costly material which is found to give satis- faction.
