EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}2/12.4.30. There has been no previous suggestion to alter the gauge of the wing stays on the 20/25 HP. chassis. We do not consider that the present suggestion of increasing from .104" to .128" on the gauge and omitting the stiffener will be as good as our present arrangement. We are of theopinion that the stay demands serious modification. We consider that in addition to making a real improvement on the wing it is necessary to remove the lamp from the wing stay as this undoubtedly is the cause of the major part of the trouble. BY.{R.W.
