It has beenset out as before to suitEAC. 7. - 14-EX. the car on which it is intended to be fitted, the positions of the various parts being to the best of our information. We also ask for some slight modifications to the casing to suit the control cylinders. If the car is already fitted with dipping head lamps it will be necessary to dispense with these while this experiment is on. Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
