Further to our memo of 18/6/14, we wish to state that we have discussed this matter with Mr Haldenby and he thinks that now the Dunlop wheels are standardised it is not so necessary that these should be on an experimental car, therefore as soon as the experiments with the double rear brakes having special liners and completed the R.W. wheels should be fitted to chassis 2300. p.
