Hanbury - Head Complaints} Wormald: 4/3/14. On 2300 we have some Special Dunlop Water Proof Wheels on the front, but the original Standard Dunlop Wheels on the back. This means that the Detachable Wheels are not easily interchangable. Will you please instruct the Drawing Office to have the back wheels converted. I have asked for this verbally, before, but I believe there is some difficulty in the Drawing Office. [Signature] This sheet must be filed with the correspondence to which it refers. | ||
