ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. 16127 INSTRUCTIONS. 13.11 1913 To: Mr Royce Order No. Customer's No. X393 Re: COACHBUILDERS DRAWINGS Re your note R14/P311013 The difference in the width of the wire wheels over the hubs at rear & front is due to the lean of the front wheels, which cause the front hubs to spread, but the amount is only 3/4". I feel sure the 2" quoted is an error. We now show the full width of splasher required. Only a few old coachbuilders' drawings show the brake lever half way, & these we alter. All new ones show it full off Signed: Thory This Sheet must be filed on completion of the work. | ||
