Preference for a solid cast lug on the 20 HP model, similar to that on the 40/50 HP.

Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn{Mr Robinson}4/LG6. 7.28.

We notice that N.sch.2107 Cast Dash for 40/50 shews a cast lug provided at the front for bolting to the frame. On N.sch.2146 the lug is deleted and a piece of sheet metal substituted in its place.

The lug is solid, has proved quite satisfactory, and we like it. Cannot we have it on the 20 HP. as well as the 40/50 HP?
