[STAMP: M.D. 26 NOV 12] This column is for Name of Person addressed. DATE. Re Dunlop Detachable Wheels to be fitted to "The Charmer". [STAMP: RECEIVED] [Handwritten: X15] W. to S. Mr Northey. 25-11-12 TBB3/L251112 With reference to the fitting of a trials set of Dunlop detachable wheels to "The Charmer". We are dissatisfied with the present design of hub and the Dunlop Co. is now engaged upon certain modifications. I think it will be preferable to delay the fitting of these wheels to The Charmer until we are able to fit the modified design. If you agree to this I will arrange for the wheels to be fitted as soon as the new scheme is ready.
