40/50 HP. CHASSIS. BALLOON TYRES.

With reference to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}6/LG. 23.9.24. we send you herewith blueprint of a layout we have made showing how the end of the cross steering tube fouls the rim of balloon tyres.

To overcome this, the cross steering levers could be .300" nearer the centre line of the chassis, or alternatively, the cross steering lever could be reduced in length from 8.750" to 7.650" which was the original length.
