| 104 F {Mr Friese} /DODD/ PER BAG. S/W. {Sales / Derby Works} Experimental Dept. Ed {J. L. Edwards} 5/IH.20.5.38. 1011 3-AEX-34. ---------- On examining the wheels of the above car, which was originally 34-EX, it has been discovered that the flanges are misshapen, possibly due to the use of tyre levers, etc. One wheel is so bad that it is impossible to make it passable before the car is sold. As these are non-standard wheels and bear the number N.2, we are wondering whether you have a spare wheel which you could let us have to replace this one. Ed. {J. L. Edwards} --- [Signature] OK Wheel despatched 21-5-38. RM {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /ED {J. L. Edwards} | ||
