| To Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} from Bn.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} c. to hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} copy Bn{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington}6/W22.8.19. RE SPARE WHEEL CARRIERS. X.3683 Paris has suggested that the spare wheels carried on the running board can be well supported by the usual well and a bracket which takes hold of a dummy hub. There are points about this which seem good and I shall be glad if you would sketch out the scheme after discussion with Mr. Hives and with me. Bn.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} | ||
