Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}2/H6.4.2. 20-HP Car Tool Box Clearance. ------------------------- In reporting on the 20-HP car recently sent to America, our Tester Mr. Wright states:- "The clearances from the ground seem to be fair but could do with a little more. The tool box should not project below the surface of the running board". We have also noticed in carrying out final tests of complete cars, that there is a tendency for a noise to be set up by the brakeropes catching on these projecting tool boxes. EP.{G.
