| To EY. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} [Handwritten: V3725] Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/LG1.10.23. WIRE WHEELS. We some time ago received a wheel from Messrs. Dunlop treated with anti-rust process such as sheradizing before enamelling. If this is not being done as standard we recommend it should be. We think it would be an excellent thing if the spokes could be treated in a similar manner. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
