| COPY. S/W Hnll/LH{Mr Haworth}22.12.20. Re. 106-AE. W. M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} Dean. We attach hereto report from our Fitter concerning the straight sided wheels which you have supplied for the above. You will agree that this report reveals a very serious state of affairs, and we propose to return all 6 wheels to you for examination and further testing. Will you please let us know if you wish us to do this or whether you would prefer them to be returned direct to the Dunlop Co. As we have already advised you, this car is due on the road before the end of the year, and we shall be glad to know what arrangements you propose to make to replace the wheels. C. | ||
