We strongly recommend that this matter should receive very careful consideration, and if possible the clearances for Continental Tourers increased to within safe limits. In our opinion the clearances required for these cars should be not less than 3.250 when fully loaded, with a plus limit only of, say, .500. Hd.{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy} SS{S. Smith}/ | ||
