(4) SEATING. We have had a lot of trouble with front affording support to the small of the driver's back having been in use for a short while. An example is the Hooper Saloon 10-G-3.

Much more permanent place on the longerons and the shoulder top rail. We suggest it be of 3 ply wood, shaped to the shape of the driver's back. The springs of equal length so no subsidence might occur and there would be always a constant seat.

Yours faithfully,
