RE. WEIGHT OF 40/50 CHASSIS.

In reply to your memo of 6.1.33. we have checked over the modifications to production chassis for the last 12 months, i.e. N. 2. series to O - and we can account for the increase of approx. 130 lbs which is in the chassis alteration during this period.

Attached is a list of former and present production weights showing the increase.
