X.3522 4260 Da {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} 9/CB8.3.21. X.4260 - GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) 11 - FRAME CROSS MEMBER. X.3522. Replying to your BY {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} /C18/P22.2.21., we intended on Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) 11 to number of cross member from the rear as on the 40/50. We think that Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) 1 has been numbered the other way, due to some oversight, as it was certainly not our intention.
