DA {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} /EV {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} 2/M6.2.29.

INDIA(Production 20 HP. with 4-speed box and Front Wheel Brakes) REAR WHEEL CARRIER. X7600
16-G.4.

We send herewith N. sch. 2818. shewing the

rear wheel carrier for 16-G-4. - the Barker close coupled

all-weather.

The design of the body calls for a wheel

leaned in this position.

It will be noticed that only one new piece

is called for to convert the vertical carrier to this design -

see N. scheme 2769.

We shall send you in a day or so the design

of single filter to replace the two level device. This will

be made to go on to the existing tank flanges, and will be

applicable to all cars, SS {S. Smith} , and India(Production 20 HP. with 4-speed box and Front Wheel Brakes).

This car has no side wheel carrier.

Kindly send us an extra print for R. {Sir Henry Royce} by

return of post.
