RE 20 H.P. CHASSIS. X 3567

Would you kindly note that Mr. Royce would like to extend the wheelbase for the 20 H.P. chassis from 118" to 120", the increased length to be inserted behind the dashboard.

Would you please say whether the condition of the pieces on order makes it possible without causing any scrap.

E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer}
