GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) 11. RADIATOR SHUTTERS. X4240 In reply to your memo. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 4/LG20922., we were quite pleased with the specimen shutter that you sent us, and we feel that when the job is prop-erly finished and erected, the shutters will look quite alright. If we departed from this partic-ular style of shutter we should very likely use the oval section which can be either made from sol-id drawn tubing, or flat sheets sweated to the cor-rect form on a mandrel.
