| BT.{Capt. J. S. Burt - Engineer} FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} Copy to BJ. HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ORIGINAL DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}3/M14.11.28. X5400 X5600 G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} 4. TWO WHEELS AT REAR WITHOUT LUGGAGE. Herewith we send N. scheme 2760. shewing the system of carrying two wheels at the rear without luggage. It will be seen that a species of dummy hub is proposed supported by a triangular bracket off the rear cross member. We are dispensing with the shoes. It will be seen that this arrangement cannot be fitted, as drawn, to an existing car, but it will not be needed until 16-G-4. The existing car 14-G-4. will have one wheel and luggage, and we will endeavour when sending you that, to arrange that it can be fitted to an existing car. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
