Ace Wheel Discs.

By arrangement with Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} we sent W. on the 1st. ult. an experimental set of Ace discs suitable for a P.III chassis.

These discs were equipped with a modified form of valve extension and Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} undertook to try them out and to report at the end of about a couple of months of any trouble with the discs or valve extensions.

Have you had an opportunity of giving them an extended trial, please, and have they given any trouble?

Cornercroft are anxious to know how they are getting on.
