Letter from Armstrong Siddeley Motors to Hawker Aircraft Limited: Sapphire Hunter
Date

Description

There is a 20 deg discrepancy reading between the instrument in the cockpit and a potentiometer. This makes the reading in the Hunter very similar indeed to those recorded both on test beds and in the Javelin aircraft
