Herewith we send N.sch.2644 - intermediate step iron and N.sch.2645 rear step iron, which have been reset to suit the lower position of the frame. For the moment we agree to taking existing pressings and rebending them. In order to use these pressings we have shewn a length of 14.825", but as we consider the 20 HP. step irons are now very short we should like this dimension increased to 16" as soon as it becomes possible.
