HO2/TB201211 DEPARTMENTAL MEMO. This column is for Name of Person addressed. DATE. Re Detachable Rims. Z 527 S. to W. 20/12/11 In reply to your letter TBB9/L151211 attached the trouble with the Cave rims was balance, and with the Sankey the special hub caps did not fit while we have since had another set of Sankey which were O.K. We have recently had a set of Captain which were O.K. I cannot remember the particular trouble with the Spencer Moulton, but I believe some part or parts did not fit properly. I am sorry we cannot now give you more definite information. We get into communication with the makers when rims are not right and endeavour to have them rectified at once. H.O.
