SMALLER WHEELS.

Replying to Da{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}3/M1.9.31.

At the present time we are very happy with the steering on the 25 HP. and therefore we may be able to reduce the diameter of the wheels without any serious disadvantage, but we should not recommend doing this unless we are going to get some possible gain from it.
