EAC. 7. WINGS, VALANCES, ETC. X.7390 X.7830

Herewith we send N.sch.2251 shewing a layout of the front and rear wings, valances, running boards, stepirons etc.

For the first chassis the rear wings will be supplied mounted on the body by the body makers, but the front wings will be supplied by them for mounting in Derby. Subsequently of course the usual arrangement will obtain.

Similarly for the first chassis Derby will be expected to make and fit the valances, since it will be impossible to let the coachbuilders have the chassis.

We have shewn headlamps fixed, and may subse-quently send you further instructions on this point.

There are some tool boxes on either side between the rear-most stepirons, which will be shewn on another drawing.
