To HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from C.L. Jenner

GOSHAWK II X4221

Will you please let us know if the second chassis has an oil leak at the rear end of the crankshaft.

Mr Royce would like you to investigate exactly where the oil does get away, he thinks that it is possible that the leakage occurs at the horizontal joint of the end cover. He cannot imagine this joint being very satisfactory.

C.L.J.
