TYRE SIZE - WRAITH. 1339 Referring to your memo Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}14/MH.{M. Huckerby}11.5.38. we are releasing the wheels for the first 100 cars as already agreed. In regard to 'B' series (101-300) we propose to hold these up until your tests are completed with the 30° cone angle, when presumably you will issue a standard-isation sheet if satisfactory. Incidentally the Works are asking for immediate release of all outstanding details for 'B' series. BY/Mtn. | ||
