This we should get on the road as quickly
as ever possible.

It must however have:

(1) Long low frame.
(2) Smaller wheels with shorter hubs for improved
appearance, (giving lower gear.)
(3) Central oiling - for Sales requirements see
BJ's memo.
(4) Engine improvements -
(a) Head.
(b) Exhaust manifold.
(c) Induction.
(d) Crankshaft design and damper.
