'SS{S. Smith}' REAR AXLE. X.7350

Herewith we send N.sch.2722., shewing the slight modifications to the rear axle end required to accommodatethe rebuilt wire wheel shewn on N.sch.2718.

It will be seen that the alterations are very slight, and with the exception of the brake drum, and probably the axle tube, all existing pieces can be used.
