| Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from EP. {G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} X4354 GOSHAWK 11 EF6/LGS.4.22. X4354 AUTOMATIC ADVANCE IGNITION. 14219 Although R. {Sir Henry Royce} in his report on "Suggestions" has tackled this job, we are not in a position to know exactly what action to take. Are you satisfied that 4-Goshawk-11 ignition can be taken as a model and are you in a position to explain the difference between this and the original specification. The governor drive job is a feature held up for production and a point which BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} is pressing for. Attached is memo. received from D.C. with our comments on features for production which are held up experimentally and on which we should be glad to have your reply as soon as possible. | ||
