Draper - Frames} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/HH. 756 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GB.4/ET.29.6.41. MYTH ROAD WHEELS. It will be remembered that Kelsey Hayes recently said that they had no rims .087 - .098" thick for our Myth wheels, but that they had picked out 5 rims .110" thick, which was the low limit for a normal rim. On the telephone the other day they pointed out that we were now asking for 10 wheels instead of 5, and that this made the rim situation difficult. They had made another search and had found sufficient 3" rims, at least 5 of which were .087 - .098" thick, to make 10 wheels. These wheels will be nearer what we want, and we have decided to accept them. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GB. G.B. | ||
