| ORIGINAL FROM DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} Copy to - HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}1/M6.5.31. 20/25 - SECOND HALF OF 'T' SERIES. REAR WHEEL CARRIER AND GRID. γ5400. γ5600. It is now agreed that there may be two standards offered to the customer. Type (1). Wheel at side permanently, with or without a luggage grid - (maximum bodied cars.) Type (2). Wheel at rear permanently, and no luggage grid - (for sports cars with short bodies and trunk between the wheel and body.) For type (1) - we propose you use the grid known as the revised type 4, of P. 2. with shortened tubes, and this is shewn on N. scheme 3273. herewith. For type (2) - we suggest you offer the carrier for the wheel of the dummy hub type as drawn on N. sch. 3184. (wheel vertical), and N. sch. 3185. (wheel sloping.) The side wheel carrier will be the one at present in use, with some method of steadying to be dealt with separately.
