ORIGINAL EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}5/26.6.28. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FRONT AND REAR WHEEL WHEEL CLEARANCES. X615 X5800 X5390 X5810 We send herewith N.Sch. 2619. shewing the front and rear wheel clearances for India 3. with 31 x 6 balloon tyres on 19ins. rims. As previously explained we have taken the rear wheel maximum bump from full load to be 4.400ins. as this appears the most we could expect in actual use. We wish Derby to set out the front wing stays, using the present pressings cut short. The lamps will be carried on the wings as on N.Sch.2633. for the first cars, and lamps should be fitted by Derby. We wish to use RB.{R. Bowen}78. on the first car. Derby should seeth that they have a set by the time they are needed. EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
