Dear Sirs, Thank you for your letter of January 30th. enclosing copy of print CDS.1573. As regards the experimental set of wheels which you are putting in hand with a long 72.R. type shell, we confirm that we should like these with no provision for balance weights. We have done sufficient testing on these wheels to revert to the balance weight spoke arrangement if necessary. Yours faithfully, for ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
