| X. 7600 BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. to SG.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}3/M 17.4.29. RE. SS.{S. Smith} REAR WHEEL CARRIERS. Herewith we send N.sch.2875 shewing the modification to the standard single rear wheel carrier to give a leaning forward position. In the cases where this is required a special petrol tank is necessary. We require one of these carriers and tanks as shewn for 25-EX. As the body is already being made to this drg., if you find it ne-cessary to alter it we shall be glad if you will let us know. It will be seen that should a double carrier be required it is only necessary to change the sheet metal triangle to a tubular one, and add the standard double wheel carrier pieces.
