TYRE CARRIERS/ON 40/50 CHASSIS. ✓3633. Replying to your Hn {F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} 16/LR {Mr Ellor} 21022., we think we have found a very satisfactory type of carrier for supporting the wheel on the runningboard, and propose to use this on Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)). We are fitting up a 40/50 with these carriers, and we propose endeavouring to sell them to the coachbuilders at a price suitable to both parties. Derby will shortly quote you a price for the Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) carrier and when you have received this we would be glad to hear from you as to what Sales are prepared to do in connection with the 40/50.
