(Struck through) X4221 (Handwritten) RECEIVED 14 DEC 1921 (Stamped) BY1-P13.12.21. GOSHAWK 11. CRANKSHAFT. X4221 (Handwritten) Now that we have incorporated Mr Royce's last schemes for modifying the crankshaft there is no reason why we should not go ahead on this and produce the dies for same. Messrs. Vickers, I understood, made a start on this job, but owing to their being some doubt whether Mr Royce proposed to make modifications they stopped work on same, but they are now at liberty to go ahead again.
