Bailey - Chief Engineer} c. to EFC. {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} E4/G27.1.21. X.4264. RE "GOSHAWK 11" STEERING BOX. Referring to the "Goshawk 1" steering box, Mr. Royce thinks this appears to be of rather delicate proportions for "Goshawk 11". it has probably been designed, .75 of the 40/50 H.P. size when to be correct/for "Goshawk 11", it should probably be .85. Mr. Royce would like an arrangement made to the larger proportion. E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
