| BJ. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 4586 STEEL WHEELS. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}3/LG15.1.24. I have consulted BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} and we recommend that we issue immediately a standardisation sheet for the steel wheels. We consider that the experience we have on the 10,000 milestest on the 20 HP. car and also the fact that we have already fitted over a dozen sets of these wheels on 40/50 cars without having any complaints, should justify the issue of a std. sheet so that these wheels can be fitted in cases when customers refuse wire wheels.
