RE. TYRE CARRIERS ON 40/50 CHASSIS X.3633.

Replying to your Hn{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders}16/LR{Mr Ellor}2.10.22., we think we have found a very satisfactory type of carrier for supporting the wheel on the running board, and propose to use this on Goshawk. We are fitting up a 40/50 with these carriers, and we propose endeavouring to sell them to the coachbuilders at a price suitable to both parties. Derby will shortly quote at a price for the Goshawk carrier and when you have received this we would be glad to hear from you as to what Sales are prepared to do in connection with the 40/50.
