| TO C.I. FROM R.{Sir Henry Royce} Copy to - E.I. P.Y. HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ORIGINAL R6/M13.10.25. X421 f4586 ROAD WHEEL HUBS. We have successfully shortened these for steel artillery wheels. We are now proposing to do the same for wire wheel hubs. They should be lighter, and not overhang so far. Rudge-Whitworth say it is an advantage to have less depth of wire hub. I do not think so exactly, but there is sufficient in the shorter hubs. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
