| +457 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rml/LG. 10th. Sept. 1925. Messrs. The Dunlop Rubber Co., Fort Dunlop, Erdington, Birmingham. Dear Sirs, For the attention of Mr. Paull. We have a pair of Michelin disc wheels which we have been using in connection with experiments on High Speed Steering Wobbles. We are very anxious to fit balloon tyres on these wheels. We wonder whether it would be possible for you to provide these wheels with well based rims. We are also anxious to fit balloon tyres to a car having hubs of the same type as those on the Hispano Suiza ca.r. We wonder whether you have any wheels of this hub size having well based rims. Thanking you in anticipation. Yours faithfully, | ||
