| To Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from CJ. CJL/D28.10.24. Referring to your Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 2/LG.27.10.24, could not this chassis be fitted with a Limousine Body? The larger proportion of our closed cars have the driver's seat enclosed. Will the camshaft be suitable for the Sports Model, or will it be suitable for a Covered Car? We should prefer the latter. What gear ratio and back axle will you use? PN. {Mr Northey} suggests 15/52. CJ. | ||
