To Ev. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} from Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer}
c. Jnr. {Charles L. Jenner}

Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 3/MH. {M. Huckerby} 14.10.39.

Herewith particulars of the Studebaker. I notice it has 5½ x 16 tyres; it therefore looks as if 6 x 16 will be amply big enough for our little car. It may be that we shall get away with 6 x 15.

It is interesting to note that Studebaker's have made a 2.7 litre car for 21 cwts.
