Front Wings - 2.B.50.

We sent to you a few days ago a print of PD.241 shewing the clearances for the front wings of 2.B.50, so that we could use either a 56.26" front track or a 58.500 front track and the car raised 1.000.

We are sending you a revised print of PD.241 on which we have moved the spare wheel forward .250". Would you kindly send this print to Messrs.Park Ward and ask them to destroy the original one.
