X.4233. RE REVISED 20 H.P. WHEELCASE AND GEARS.

We send you herewith blue print of drawing LeC.1312. The slipper flywheel, spring drive, crankshaft pinion, fan pulley etc. are complete on this drawing, also the intermediate wheel and the dynamo drive, but the shape of the wheelcase has yet to be completed, and the camshaft finally decided.

The original tracing will be sent completed at a later date.
