25 HP. THIN FLANGE FLYWHEEL.
We are sending you a sketch of the thin flywheel we have tried and which was fitted to 12-G4 when at W.W. the other day. As you will see it has no spigot location, relying solely on the bolts.
Will you please send us a design for fitting to the new 25 HP. unit. This is urgently required for the car about to start 10,000 miles.
Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/H.Grylls.
Attached: G.53692 Sheet 1.
