| To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} From EH. c. to BN.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} X. 15 EH12/LG23.9.19. ---------------- As Dunlops have supplied us with a detachable wheel with a demountable rim for a straight sided tyre, we suggest that we ought to ask them whether they can supply us with a similar rim for a beaded tyre. If we can get Dunlops to supply us with such a wheel it would be a much better proposition than the Warland. Will Mr. Bailey please let us know if Dunlops can do this. Mr. Royce has agreed that we should buy a set of Houk wire wheels which have demountable rims, we do not think there is any necessity to do this if Dunlops can supply. EH. | ||
