| X4152 Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X3585 X2F96 X4152 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}4/LG17.2.22. At the present time we have not a telegauge at the works at all. The car with this fitted is in London and will not be back until early next week. We will send on the fitting as soon as we get the car back. With reference to your query re. Number Plate and Tail Lamp Bracket. We were told in London that this plate would not comply with the law. I think the law states that the number must be visible from either side of the car at a certain angle. With the spare wheel on the back, this obstructs the view from one-side. We think the scheme of the number plate and tail lamp bracket is very good and could be used wherever the number must be fitted. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
