| To BJ. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to Roy.{Sir Henry Royce} R-W WHEELS. The R.W. wheels have now completed 6,000 miles. They have given no trouble. During the latter part of the run we have been carrying out special tests with different degrees of tightness. The R.W. people in the past have recommended their wheels to be tightened up more tightly than we consider practicable. The new wheels, however, are working quite satisfactorily when tightened to the same degree as the Dunlop. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
