GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) STEERING. X4264
Mr. Royce yesterday stated definitely that he did not like the car raised .5". This was the result of seeing No.4.Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) 11., the appearance of which he considers is spoilt, and which he desires to be restored to the standard camber of spring.
This therefore settles the question of the Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) steering.
