| X4085 COPY. S/W. (By) Hn{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders}3/LH{Mr Haworth}23.12.22. SIDE WHEEL CARRIERS FOR TWENTIES. We attach our official order for fifty sets of side spare wheel carriers for 20 h.p. chassis, as shewn in your print F.51973, (or amended print is one is available). We shall want some of these carriers before the end of January. What are the prospects of obtaining a quantity by then, please? We would like the plate which fits into the hub of the wheel to entirely conceal the inner surface of the hub. W.W. had this matter under consideration, but we do not appear to have been advised whether the necessary arrangements have been made to meet our requirements. C. | ||
