| To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from R.{Sir Henry Royce} c. to CJ. BJ. X4-07 X3840 R2/M1.12.23. RE. LE CANADELHenry Royce's French residence. X.4219 X.9940 For the first part of the time at Le CanadelHenry Royce's French residence I should prefer the Goshawk with the Beatonson body - 5-G-11 - but I do not want to take this if it is of any use to the Sales, in which case I should like the brown Goshawk - 4-G-11. While I am at Le CanadelHenry Royce's French residence I should like a 40/50 fitted with EAC. engine and front wheel brakes. The principle object of the EAC. engine is carburation, and with the brakes experimental experience. I expect to arrive at Toulon Dec.19th. Grand Hotel mid-day. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
