| X. 7360 Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} C. R.C. E.A.C.VIII. BY6/H. 11.6.26. We have obtained from the Dunlop Company three pairs of rear hubs of a similar design to those which are used on the lightened front axle at present on test. Will you kindly collect the three pairs of hubs and arrange to have a pair of same fitted to the car which goes to France for the 10,000 mile trial, as it is desirable to bring in the new type hub on the rear at the same time that we modify the hub on the front, the difference being that the new type locking gear is as arranged on the 20 HP. chassis.
