Rudge-Whitworth Wheels

Attached is copy of a communication from the Rudge-Whitworth Company, giving the results to date of the latest type Rudge-Whitworth Wheels fitted to Mr. Pugh's Austro-Daimler Car.

Would you kindly let me have details of the experimental sets we have under observation here.

I think we are agreed it is due in a large measure to the Rudge-Whitworth competition that we have secured the more favourable prices from the Dunlop Company existent today.

The Prints and Photos herewith to BY, as they have only sent one of each. Will BY kindly pass on to Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}
