Re Chassis No.75-RM.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} - Lady Meredith. The above chassis has been sent from Barkers to W. to have front wheel brakes fitted. As it is destined for North America, it is fitted with the special induction system and boilers on the two exhaust down pipes. When fitting front wheel brakes, it is essential to fit the new (E.A.C.3) pattern exhaust system, which has only a single down pipe. We have no scheme for applying this vaporizing scheme to the new exhaust system. In addition to this, the chassis has a Bosch Z.R.6 Magneto, which will require a new base, strap, driving shaft, and brake drum &c. Will you please prepare design and issue drawings for these parts, as quickly as possible, as it is most important for the chassis to leave W. before the end of this month. [Signature] Hm{Capt. W.
