| BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X4050 Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 6/LG24.7.22. OPERATING TOOL FOR STRAIGHT-SIDED TYRES. With reference to the tool which the Dunlop people have recently send in for operating the straight-sided rims. We consider the material is wrong and also the shape at the end is wrong. We are making another one which we consider is right and will let you have it as soon as possible. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
