CHASSIS. ----------- (Yeats) In addition to the special wheels with 20" rims which we have on order for the above cars, it will be necessary for us to place a further order for three sets of wheels, six wheels per set, built up on hubs to suit the SS.{S. Smith} car, but with 21" rims instead of 20". Mr. D'Aeth will prepare a drawing covering the above, and issue same to the Order Office to enable them to order these without fear of confusion. This will affect the spare wheel carrier, so that we shall have to order three spare wheel carriers of the new type suitable for these wheels. 73n BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
