We send herewith N. sch. 2818. shewing the rear wheel carrier for 16-G-4. - the Barker close coupled all-weather. The design of the body calls for a wheel leaned in this position. It will be noticed that only one new piece is called for to convert the vertical carrier to this design - see N. scheme 2769. We shall send you in a day or so the design of single filter to replace the two level device. This will be made to go on to the existing tank flanges, and will be applicable to all cars, SS{S.
