| -4- chassis. He thinks however that the point should be considered with reference to the frame trussing as regards curing our body troubles. With reference to the clearances of the frame trusses, I understand that Mr Spinney has taken the question up with Mr Royce as to whether he should reduce the depth of the truss by about 3/8", as at present the lowest point of the truss is about 1/4" below the lowest point of the flywheel guard. With the exception to this question of the trusses the matter of ground clearance for present standard cars is now settled if you consider that the figures given above are satisfactory. At the same time we have in view for future cars the increase in the slope of the transmission. | ||
