| X.4085. Extract from DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}4/M14.7.24. RE. VISIT TO SALES ON 10TH.INST. X.4085 - 20 HP. WHEEL CARRIER. Sales still report that the 20 HP. wheel carrier seems to be weak in its fixing to the frame, and often works loose, and eventually breaks. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} reports similarly with regard to the 40/50 experimental design on test. We propose looking into this fixing and strengthening it, as soon as possible.
