| FHR3/H251012W.M. GRAND HOTEL DU CANADEL Par le Lavandou, (VAR) 25th October 1912. RECEIVED 30 OCT 1912 Mr Johnson from F.H.R. for T.C. Re Dunlop Detachable Wheels. I should like you to go into the question of the weight of these, as I think the scheme works exceedingly well and the locking quite manifest and safe, and also Bullsmore states that the wheels on Mr Johnson's car "The Mystery" were tight which is the first case we have had of wire wheels keeping tight. Will you also try a set on a heavy limousine car and let me know how they behave. F.H.Royce. They are quite good enough to try several sets on the Company's cars. X15 | ||
