The Dunlop Company have, at my request, supplied us with a special wheel with a loose rim suitable for the American 36 x 6" internal wired tyre. From their drawing they had also added the improved location for the inner of the spoke, which we had particularly drawn attention to as faulty in the present design of wheel. The O.O. are anxious to have some information on the above subject I would therefore like to know what your views in regard to the wheel in question. are? Personally I have not yet seen the wheel referred to and therefore when you have done with same I would like you to send up to my office so that I might carefully in-spect the size and condition of the wheel.
