This seems to be what is wanted for all covered cars. For open cars, of which there are a much smaller number, the change speed lever will be inside the body and the brake lever outside the body. This we presume will be standard for all open touring bodies. We ought, however to be able to supply for narrow wind cutting bodies both levers outside to special orders. F.H.R. | ||
