| X3725 rf To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Expl: Dept: Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/TMW2/LG10.12.20. RE DUNLOP LEVERS FOR GOODYEAR RIMS. X3725 We consider that the Dunlop Lever for Goodyear Rims excellent for fitting rims on, but much prefer our own lever for getting the rim off. A square ended lever binds and jams. On our lever we have a slight bend at this end, this makes it much easier in getting the rim out and lifting upwards at the same time. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/TMW. | ||
