X.4293c. RE "KITE" CHASSIS MODELS. Owing to the alterations to the wheelbase and body base of the "Kite" chassis it has been necessary to make a new drawing for the comparative chassis model, we send this herewith - Lec.1320. An open four-seater body has been shewn with the lower of the two positions proposed for the steering column. this position is one roughly half way between "C" and "D" on the 40/50 H.P. Would you kindly instruct the "Kite" model to be altered to this char drawing. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
