Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} PN.{Mr Northey} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/LG22.6.23. DUNLOP STEEL ARTILLERY WHEELS. With reference to the attached standardisation sheet. It is not intended to standardise the Artillery steel wheels but permission is required so that they can be used when a customer refuses to have wire wheels. At the present time we have cars actually waiting for these wheels. The Sales wish to deliver cars with Dunlop Artillery wheels similar to those we have been testing which are fitted with hubs same as those fitted to the wire wheels. The proposed modified wheels with the bolting scheme are to be used as soon as they are available. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
