| BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from DA. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. to BJ. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} S5600 DAS/M14.11.28. G.4. TWO WHEELS AT REAR WITHOUT LUGGAGE. X.5400 X.5600 Herewith we send N.sch.2780 shewing the system of carrying two wheels at the rear without luggage. It will be seen that a species of dummy hub is proposed supported by a triangular bracket a off the rear cross member. We are dispensing with the shoes. It will be seen that this arrangement cannot be fitted, as drawn, to an existing car, but it will not be needed until 16-G-4. The existing car 14-G-4 will have one wheel and luggage, and we will endeavour when sending you that, to arrange that it can be fitted to an existing car. DA. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
