Bailey - Chief Engineer} E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} R1/M13.1.25. RE. 20 HP. FRAME. X.3730 X.4260 Though we know that everything can be better at the expenditure of money and weight, and I agree to improving the above, I cannot understand why our 20 HP. frame is considered unsatisfactory in stiffness with a body built on an underframe, and at the same time appear quite satisfactory in the case of this Young body with Beatonson head, which has been so well tested here and in England during the last 1 1/2 years.
