Mr.Egan also said that he would be glad to let us have a set of wheels to fit to one of our heavy cars if we would let him know the size of wheel required. Please take this up with the Dunlop Co. and arrange for the wheels to be fitted. Also do as Mr. Royce suggests in the attached memo FHR3/H251012. that is to say order Dunlop detachable wheels for several of our heaviest cars. C. J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} | ||
