| C O P Y. RS {Sir Henry Royce's Secretary} /B19213 C.J. from F.H.R for Messrs Wormald, Nadin & Hives. Experiment 194/A. Sankey Wheels. I never cared for these, my advice is do not use them, wire wheels with all their faults are preferable. Experiment 190/A. Riley Wheels. Passable, but I think should be avoided and Dunlop's & Rudge-Whitworth given the preference, they are not so well made or so securely locked as one would wish - this is my impression. Experiment 51/A. Sankey Wheels with Michelin Rims. Do not use this combination. Experiment 164/A. Vient Rims. Always use Michelin. Summary. Detachable rims - Michelin. Detachable wheels use wire wheels either Dunlop or R. {Sir Henry Royce} -W. Hurry up and get hubs of our make ready for Dunlops. Experiment 16. Dunlop Detachable Wheels. These did so well at Le Canadel(Henry Royce's French residence) - they were the first wheels that were found tight after a long journey as far as I knew. F.H.R. X15 | ||
