| X3117. LE. From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey} C. to H.A. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey} 2/MA.1.12.32. D.W.S.JACKS (LE.S/C. 28.11.32.) We have interviewed Mr.Sessions with regard to the fitting of D.W.S.Jacks on the 20/25HP. car. It was agreed that the new thin type jacks should be used, fixed under the front axle beam, and under the spring U bolts on the rear axle. This will give us approximately 7" ground clearance front and rear, and is the best that can be done without making special brackets. We think this clearance will be sufficient. It is the best that can be done without considerable chassis modifications, which of course are not possible until the possibility of standardisation arises. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Lid.{A. J.
