Bentley / Mr Barrington} c. to Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} copy Bn{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington}9/W29.9.19. RE DISCS FOR WIRE WHEELS. X.1761 We still receive requests from London to fit Discs to Wire wheels. As you are aware the discs are available for fitting are not very satisfactory. Do you consider that designs for Disc Covers should be attempted or shall our policy be to inform Sales that we do not propose to develop a Disc Cover of our own, nor can we recommend any particular Cover made by Firms, and that they must leave the matter to Coach Builders. I believe that you consider that we should not fit covers at all, but I should be glad to have this confirmed. Bn.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} | ||
