| Minutes of Meeting. (18). Mudguard Irons. We would not insist on their having our standard type but believe that they would soon find that they were advantageous. (19). Spilling of Fuel. This is in connection with the loss of the filler cap, and it was agreed that a hinged cap would be of advantage. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}will put forward a scheme. (20). Steering. We see no reason why the conditions for America are different from England, but if slightly different strength of springs were found advantageous, there would be no difficulty in embodying them. (21). Ignition. This covers the question of America wishing to have dual battery ignition instead of battery and magneto. We do not see any reason why the car should be different in this respect so that we would wish the American car to have the magneto. | ||
