LUGGAGE CARRIER. -------------------------- With reference to DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}4/M.27.2.26, we send you herewith blueprint F.73445 showing general arrangement of the complete carrier, which it is proposed to standardise in the near future. The side tubes have been reinforced with a steel sleeve as arranged verbally with DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} recently, and no doubt Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} will carry out the necessary tests as early as possible in order that standardisation sheets can be issued for signatures.
