In the case of the 20 HP. chassis we use an aluminium bracket. it therefore seems unreasonable for us to be using a steel forging on the Phantom. BY/HEB.{H. Biraben} will issue instructions for you to produce an aluminium bracket so that same can be tried out on the car which is being sent out on the 10,000 miles run next month. BY.{R.W.
