Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry{Shadwell Grylls}4/R.16.10.37.

We have approached Messrs. Alford & Alder to see whether they can make us hubs more cheaply than Dunlops do now.

We have reached the present stage, as per their letter which we attach to this memo, and shall be glad if you will send them, on loan, one finished machined rear hub from the Works.
