| Re Chassis No. 68-TW - Alec Rea. J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} D/CA4/T11.10.20. Referring to memo. Com/D/CA23/T21.9.20 and D/CA10/-T24.9.20, kindly note solid leaf type rear springs were fitted to this chassis, and subsequently Mr. Evans spoke to Mr. Rea and customer informed him that he considered the springing of his car was greatly improved and he now considers that the R.R. equals the Lanchester in springing.
