re COACHWORK CLEARANCES.
-------------------------

With reference to Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 3/LG.23.8.28. we are assuming that you are in agreement with the radius of the wheel arch being made 17.375" for the 20 HP. chassis when we fit 32" x 6.00" balloon tyres on 20" x 4 1/2" rims, therefore we are altering our chassis prints accordingly.
