With reference to DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}5/M.18.12.31., we will arrange for the special brake lever as per N.Sch.3388 received recently to be produced for fitting to the above. It is not possible to produce the spare wheel carrier as shewn on N.Sch.2839 as cheaply as the one which we obtained from Dunlop, because in the latter there is only one aluminium casting. The Dunlop dummy hub is a reproduction of the road wheel hubs, and a slightly longer spigot should not materially increase the difficulty in removing the spare wheel. We do not see why the brackets for the rear number plate should be made unnecessarily long for either the Dunlop scheme or the one shown on N.Sch.2839, but no doubt the Experimental Department will reply on this point, as we have not seen the brackets.
