To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from BJ. Copies to BJ. (for O.S.C.) X4586 BJ4/H29.12.24. 40/50 HP. New Type Steel Artillery Wheels. With reference to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}7/LG23.12.24, we hardly think it would be a fair test of the 'V' series chassis if it ran its 10,000 miles on special wheels, as our standard is a wire wheel, and the great majority of these cars will be fitted with wire wheels. Is it not likely that you will wish to try two 'V' series chassis for 10,000 miles, so that we can test one with and one without steel wheels? B.J. | ||
