Dear Sir:

Re: Proposal Sheet No.24
Front Engine Guard

We submit herewith proposal sheet and blueprint of front engine guard, bolted to frame only and not to engine.

Though we have not run this very far it appears to overcome the trouble of cracking in the corners of the guard which we have always encountered.

It certainly has no disadvantage in rattling or drumming.

This guard is of the type used with the simplified starting handle construction which has already been submitted to Mr. Royce and approved by him.

Oy.
