| Z 615 Re Ground Clearance. TBB6/L11712. Mr Johnson 11.7.12. Ground Clearance (handwritten) With reference to Mr Royce's note of July 8th, you have marked the following paragraph :- "Can we not now cease talking about large flywheels and also silencer snouts? the pipe over the axle and the small flywheel seems satisfactory." My reason for including information concerning the above two points was that the alternative parts referred to, i.e. exhaust pipe over the axle and small flywheel have not yet been made standard, firstly because the tools for the friction damped spring drive coupling which is to be in combination with the light flywheel, are not yet completed; we still have hopes however of bringing these in on chassis 2050. Secondly, the exhaust pipe over the axle is also not yet standardized, but designs are being pressed forward CC&S LD (N) 125 1M (X) V500 Y5S2 R H | ||
