We send you herewith drawing No. LeC.1323 shewing the two steerings which it is intended to use on the "Kite" chassis. These will be known as "B" and "D" steerings, since they approximate to the 40/50 HP. "B" and "D" positions. Since the drawing of the "Kite" landaulet body was issued, Mr. Royce has added another inch to the dimension from the back of the dash to the back of the steering wheel for "B" steering. Would you kindly send a copy of LeC.1323 to SP. {Mr Spinney} E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
