20 HP. CHASSIS. FRONT WHEEL BRAKES.
--------------------------------

The question of the urgency of the Front wheel Brakes is one which has entirely altered the aspect. In memo to myself three days ago, CJ wrote to ask the position of affairs.

I replied that we were not pushing the 20 HP. Brake as we had previously understood it was not nearly as urgent as the four speed box for the 20 HP. chassis, and had to take second place to other issues.

CJ. now replies that the situation has entirely altered and they are desirous of offering at the earliest possible moment Four Wheel Brakes to the public on the 20 HP. chassis.

Will you kindly go ahead with the detail work so far as you can carry it at the moment.
