This shows a layout of the front end of the chassis giving the front end of the starting handle, (which is otherwise intended to be like Peregrine,) the position of the blower in reference to the axle, and the modifications required to the centre of the axle forging.
The rear end of the starting handle is not completed, and will be done in connection with the radiator.
