| 421 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}3/LG. 2nd. Jan. 1923. Messrs. Rudge-Whitworth Ltd., Coventry. Dear Sirs, For the attention of J.Pugh, Esq. You will no doubt be interested to hear that the Wheels which we are running on a 20 HP. car have now completed 5,000 miles with no complaints. For the first 2,000 miles we ran these wheels tightened to the same degree as we tighten the Dunlop wheels. We are now running one of the back wheels only tightened lightly. So far it has suffered no ill effects. Yours faithfully, | ||
