ROAD CLEARANCE.
90th Meeting
Nov. 30th11. Re letter from Mr Emery on clearance of Colonial Cars.

Mr Nadin read a letter from Mr Inman Emery in which he pointed out the importance of clearance for our Colonial cars.

It was pointed out that in the 1900 series we proposed to raise the frame, and by sloping the transmission to raise the flywheel another inch. It was agreed that this should satisfy our Colonial requirements, and if necessary, larger wheels should be used for this purpose.

Mr Johnson said -
"Use larger wheels for all India(Production 20 HP. with 4-speed box and Front Wheel Brakes)n and Colonial cars."
