| c. to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X8600 BY/C14/G.3.5.26. 40/50 HP. SPARE WHEEL CARRIER. In regard to the spare wheel side carrier, which has been recently standardised, we have now received instructions from Sales to put 100 sets in hand, but they do not wish us to supply the bracket for carrying a Boa constrictor horn. We propose to carry out their instructions, but we thought we would let you know of this decision. Now that Sales are advising customers that we can supply side carriers, it will be necessary for us to be in a position to supply carriers suitable for steel artillery wheels, and hope that you BY/C. will be able to let us have your proposals at an early date. | ||
