ES/G9119. RE JACKING UP THE FRONT WHEELS ON CHASSIS 49 GB. We think it should be pointed out that there is some difficulty in using the jack to raise the front wheels on chassis 49 GB, owing to the interference of the tyre. The platform provided on the front axle for jacking purposes should be moved a little nearer the centre line of the car to get over this trouble. This alteration has received Mr. Royce's approval, would you therefore kindly carry it out. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
