re. SPARE WHEEL CARRIERS X8600 X5600

Some little while ago we asked you to try a 20HP. wheel carrier, either side or rear, having the hexagon of the fixing stud replaced by a fixed handle made by screwing on and pinning a 40/50 wheel carrier handle.

We would like to have your remarks on the convenience of handling such a fixing bolt, as it vitally concerns our proposals for the rear wheel carrier on the Phantom for which you are waiting, and the designs of which R. {Sir Henry Royce} has promised immediately.
