| To DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} SPARE WHEEL CARRIER. We are doing our best on the spare wheel carrier. However, we cannot bring the rear carrier in until we have tried out the new side carrier with which we are pushing on. We hope to let you have some results on N.sch. 2419 very shortly. Our tests so far have shewn us that this will be satisfactory if the top of the plate is attached to the luggage cross tube. We have yet to ascertain whether will work without this support.
