20 HP. SIDE WHEEL CARRIERS. X.5600
X.5400

As it is proposed that on India 3., (and on SS.{S. Smith}) one or two wheels will be always at the rear, whether luggage is carried out or not, we doubt whether it will be worth while making any changes to the existing side carrier, but preferably to hurry on the proposed new rear wheel carrier for one or two wheels always at the rear, with a grid when ordered.

We hope to send you schemes for this in a short time.
