20 HP. Low Pressure Tyres on Well Base Rims.

At the present time we have a 20 HP. car running a 10,000 miles test in France fitted with these wheels and tyres. We expect the test to be completed in about a weeks' time. We propose holding up the standardisation sheet until that time so that there can be no argument about these parts not having run 10,000 miles. We have no doubt that they will come through successfully.
