DATE. only 4.1" - Silencer 2.9" We are having instructions to give 9 1/2" clearance on some chassis, but you will see from these figures that it is not possible to get this under present conditions and I shall be glad if you will see that such specifications are altered or that instructions shall be issued as to how this clearance can be obtained. Evidently the ground clearance is insufficient and steps should be taken to obtain more. E.P. This sheet must be filed with the correspondence to which it refers. (H) (X 896. 3.5.12) E.P. 1780. | ||
