| R.R. 236B (50 T) (S.G. 755, 24-3-20) G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} 2650 x 421 To Wd.{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} & Fe c. to EY. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}3/LG22.7.20. X.421 X.4050 RE RUDGE-WHITWORTH DETACHABLE WIRE WHEELS. With reference to the attached we should be interested to know from Messrs. Rudge-Whitworth what demountable rims were used in conjunction with the Rudge-Whitworth wheels. We assume that the cars would certainly be fitted with straight sided tyres and would therefore have to have some form of demountable rim. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} RECEIVED JUL 26 | ||
