| X457 Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} RHO. BY5/H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} 25.8.25. BJ. has asked for a wire wheel to be despatched to Sales, for them to judge the appearance of same after fitting up with the correct bolt and weights for balancing. All that this means of course is that we would supply a wheel to which the balance weights are fitted, but there is no object in actually balancing the wheel, as the appearance will be the same whether it is in balance or not.
