| BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. to BJ. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Y5600 DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}2/M1.12.28. G.4. SPARE WHEEL AT REAR. X.5600 X.5400 Herewith N.sch.2769 shewing the slight changes that are necessary to N.sch.2760 to enable one wheel to be carried at the rear instead of two. This will of course be used in conjunction with a luggage grid, but it is possible we shall not be able to get this on the car before it goes away. We think the drg. is self explanatory. This is required for 14-G-4 and N.sch.2760 for 16-G-4. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
