| PY FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} SECRET. DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}3/M17.4.29. Copy to SC HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} SS.{S. Smith} REAR WHEEL CARRIERS. X7600 Herewith we send N. sch. 2875. shewing the modification to the standard single rear wheel carrier to give a leaning forward position. In the cases where this is required a special petrol tank is necessary. We require one of these carriers and tanks as shewn for 25-EX. As the body is already being made to this drawing, if you find it necessary to alter it we shall be glad if you will let us know. It will be seen that should a double carrier be required it is only necessary to change the sheet metal triangle to a tubular one, and add the standard double wheel carrier pieces.
