| C.C. EX/AD. D/AHD. Ps. ------------------- X5600 BY14/G.19.6.29. 20 HP. CHASSIS 'O' SERIES - SIDE SPARE WHEEL CARRIER. ------------------------------------------ Whilst there appears to have been a good bit of criticism on various assumptions that the spare wheel carrier for the 20 HP. which has been made to WW. design is wrong, there is no real evidence at the moment that this is the case. We must have something to sell to a customer, and therefore we must go on with the only job we know. The Works should be instructed not to machine more than 25 sets of the parts. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
