| For Sales Conference. --- Re SPRINGING. --- It was suggested by CWB.,Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD},and C. that we should suggest to Derby, and if they see no objection adopt as standard, the following formula:- In respect of an Open Touring body on both the 40/50 h.p. and 20 h.p., if it is a 4-5 seater, then springs should be arranged for 2 in front and 1 rear - total 3. A complete list is attached. Where it is intended that luggage should be carried, then a maximum additional allowance of 50 lbs should be made for this. ----- | ||
