'SS{S. Smith}'. X.615 X.7390 X.7820 WHEEL ARCH CLEARANCES. 18-EX. We send herewith N.sch.2720 shewing the wheel arch clearances for 18-EX and all 'SS{S. Smith}' cars fitted with 6.750" tyres on 20" rims. The coachbuilders have received a print. We suggest that there is no detailing to be done on this at the moment, although the information will be of use to you when preparing the chassis print, later on, and also to the Expl: Dept: when fitting the body to enable them to check over the clearances.
