C. to BJ.
SS. {S. Smith} LUGGAGE GRID
HS. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} & SIDE WHEEL CARRIER. X7600 +7400

Herewith we send N. sch. 2811., shewing the luggage grid in use with a single wheel at the back on the dummy hub carrier.

It will be seen that we ask for slight modifications to the dumb iron, and also for additional attachments to the rear cross member, but as regards both these points we can make temporary fixings for use on an existing car.
