RE: APPEARANCE AND NEED OF DISCS. Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Gry. {Shadwell Grylls} 8/MH. {M. Huckerby} 21.4.39. I would like to see the wheel it is proposed to use, both with and without discs, but the first step is to consider the schemes suggested on FD. {Frank Dodd - Bodies} 369. It does not seem reasonable to go to a steel wheel, then be forced to add a covering disc as in the case of the wire wheel. awaiting return of wheel By BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} By | ||
