| 1092 To Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c. Jnr.{Charles L. Jenner} Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/MH.{M. Huckerby}14.10.39. Herewith particulars of the Studebaker. I notice it has 5½ x 16 tyres; it therefore looks as if 6 x 16 will be amply big enough for our little car. It may be that we shall get away with 6 x 15. It is interesting to note that Studebaker's have made a 2.7 litre car for 21 cwts. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
