C. to SG. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} HS. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} re. REAR TRUNK FITTINGS 23-EX. X4684 Replying to your BY {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} /CGH {W Clough} 4/G28129., re. the close proximity of the trunks fixing bolt and the nut of the petrol tank stay on 18-EX., we send herewith N. scheme 2819. shewing a revised design for 23-EX. We suggest that the present vertical petrol tank stay be leaned rearward as shewn on all cars so that when a trunk is called for no difficulty will arise. We have made a slightly modified fixing to the frame. These modifications will need to be fitted to the chassis for 23-EX. (open tourer).
