RE GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) I DYNAMO & MOTOR

E1/M.6.9.22.

X3533/4

I am sorry that your enquiry regarding the above has been overlooked.

I think we should fit the Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) II dynamo and motor on to the Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) I engine, with such mechanical adaptations as are necessary, since these machines have progressed beyond the point reached by those on the Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) I design.
