| Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} C. Wd. {Mr Wood / Mr Whitehead} X.421 BY4/H. 16.3.26. I attach hereto copy of letter from Messrs Rudge Whitworth, which has been sent on to me by Wd. {Mr Wood / Mr Whitehead} Personally, I am not interested in making any changes in Rudge Whitworth Wheels. I do not think they are our class of wheel, and I thereforedo not consider there is any reason why we should continue to incurr expense and run these wheels, as from a number of points of view, technically speaking, I do not consider they are in our class.
