| BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. to BJ 1/2 Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X. 8600 DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}3/M27.10.27. EAC.14 REAR WHEEL CARRIER. Herewith we send N.sch.2492 shewing the spare wheel carrier for the above. The frame has not been altered, but it will be noticed that there are slight alterations to the petrol tank which will follow in a day or two. If Derby think there will be any difficulty in producing the steel pressing it could be made an aluminium casting. We should like to have their comments on this point. With reference to the tapered torque tube we realise that this may be rather difficult to obtain, though the construction resembles that on the 20 HP. wheel carrier. We should also like to have Derby's remarks on this, if any. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
