Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/FJH.{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer}14/KW.22.2.35.

Modified Side Steering Tube and Pendulum Lever for 25 HP. Chassis No. GZU-24.

On the attached drawing Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1625 it is stated that the side steering tube should be 0.400" shorter than standard.

This is not correct and actually the tube should be longer. The tube that is being supplied for the job is longer than necessary and it should be cut to the correct length as determined by trial on the actual chassis.
