20HP. PETROL TANK FILLER. X.5460 X3701

Herewith we send N. scheme 2247. shewing the large diameter filler for the 20HP. petrol tank.

It will be noticed that the filler is not the same size as the one done for the Phantom. This is because R.{Sir Henry Royce} considered that the latter would look too large on the 20HP. car.

Also it will be noticed there is a slight alteration to the tank suspension links.

This is one of the components intended for the next 10,000 mile/car 20HP.
