"INDIA(Production 20 HP. with 4-speed box and Front Wheel Brakes)" & ITS SUITABILITY FOR F.W.B. -------------------------- Referring to Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 5/LG. 27.2.25. and considering particularly the last paragraph, there is no doubt in my mind as to the suitability of "India(Production 20 HP. with 4-speed box and Front Wheel Brakes)" for the FWB. we shall finally adopt. In regard to testing out the Front Wheel Brakes themselves, we shall undoubtedly have a number of problems to solve, but once solved, the solutions will be capable of application to "India(Production 20 HP. with 4-speed box and Front Wheel Brakes)" as at present defined and understood. I think the foregoing replies definitely to the question you asked on the telephone to-day. BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} Ry | ||
