One drawing entitled "New 1945 Rear End- Friction Trans. [Transmission]." The drawing consists of black pencil on vellum paper and shows a left side profile view of the rear end of a proposed automobile. Various internal and exterior details are shown including the car body, frame, rear wheel, suspension spring, and transmission components as well as design notes.
