X.5420 X.5770 X.5380 INDIA(Production 20 HP. with 4-speed box and Front Wheel Brakes) 3. GENERAL ARRANGEMENT. Before R. {Sir Henry Royce} went away he instructed us to get the new long frame, and 'X' shaped cross member on to the next 10,000 miles India(Production 20 HP. with 4-speed box and Front Wheel Brakes) car, keeping the remaining components standard as far as possible. Hitherto we have not sent you a layout of this car shewing the resulting angle of transmission,height of frame etc. We now send N.sch.2554, giving these particulars, of which we have sent a print to R. {Sir Henry Royce} , and expect that we shall shortly get his comments. The final India(Production 20 HP. with 4-speed box and Front Wheel Brakes) car will have new front and rear axles, making a still further gain, but the next car we understand is to have existing axles.
