| X570 N3/L311011 REF 68(vi) October 31st 1911 Re protecting the back of the petrol Tank. Mr Spinney 31-10-11 Will you please proceed with your proposal re carrying a protecting tube from a projection from the end of a frame. The name plate should be carried on this tube as should also the tail lamp. We think there might very well be a space of 6" between the protecting tube and the tank in horizontal direction. The tube should not project beyond the rear end of the tube springs. [Text on left margin]: N 333 [Watermark]: DICKINSON BOND | ||
