| X4586 BJ. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}3/LG11.6.23. RE. DUNLOP STEEL ARTILLERY WHEELS. We have been continuing our tests with these wheels. We have, however, criticised the shape of the spokes and Messrs. Dunlop have agreed to modify them. They have promised to send us their new proposal in the few days. We are also anxious that R.{Sir Henry Royce} shall have an opportunity of seeing these wheels before we standardise them. We are therefore arranging to take one of them to W.W. on our next visit which we anticipate will be the end of this week. Immediately we are satisfied with this wheel we will issue standardisation sheets. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
