| Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 261 Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 5/R.27.1.38. LARGE WHEELS & TYRES FOR DEVEREUX'S CAR. When we visited High Duty Alloys recently, Devereux asked if we could fit large wheels and tyres to his car. We are arranging to do this. We find that a customer is charged £24/11/- for a pair of these wheels and tyres. We do not know whether you wish to make any exception in Devereux's case, but this figure leaves us a somewhat handsome margin of profit. Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
