| W/S (C) c. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} e.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} D/DP XC554 BY/Cghl/G.4.2.30. v4554 x 8810 x 8820. SECOND HALF OF L2 SERIES - WHEELS AND TYRES. Please note that the 20" rim has been decided upon as the correct size of wheel for L.2B series. The tyre will be the 'Fort' type, and at the moment the tread will be "the silent", but we are under the impression that the Dunlop Co. are developing a tyre in between the present silent type and the Buttressed tread.
