| S NOV 21 1922 RECEIVED Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Hm. {Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs} X4084 Hm {Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs} 15/W21.11.22. Re Spares for 20HP. car. We have a memo from Sales Sg {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 18/BM15.11.22, asking us to get out a list of spares at the approximate value of £1,000. suitable for 12 "Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine))" chassis. We are afraid that we are unable to do this, as except for the Engine and Gear-box we have no knowledge of the remainder of the Units on the "Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine))" car. It is therefore very necessary that we have a complete car for repairs at the earliest possible date. The first car was promised about two months ago, but we have not yet had it. I shall be glad to know if there are any better prospects of having one now. This confirms my conversation with you on the same subject a few days ago. Hm. {Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs} | ||
