To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from BJ.

BJ3/H12.6.23.

Dunlop Steel Artillery Wheels.

Thank you for Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}3/LG11.6.23. Can you please let me know the result of the tests of the wheel up to date?

Has the wheel given any trouble?

If the design of shape of the spokes is altered, do you consider it would be necessary for it to be put through another 10,000 miles and other tests, and how long is this ee- likely to occupy?

B.J.
