RE 20 H.P. CHASSIS - X3501.

Please receive two prints of N.364 shewing the front end of Gear Box - Part No.1, which we should like slightly modified to enable us to use special standard Mitchelin wheels for the first one or two boxes. As far as Mr Cheetham is concerned it merely consists in increasing the outside diameter of the box to 3.75 as shewn on N.364.
