HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} We understand that two spoke wire wheels are likely to become standard shortly. Do you intend to fit them to R's new car 20-G-4? Can you tell us whether, from the point of view of discs, there will be any difference between the two spoke wheels and the present three spoke type? If there will be a difference, then it will not be any use our sending you a set of discs suitable for three spoke wheels if you are going to fit two spoke wheels on R's car. We would also like to know, if you can tell us, when two spoke wheels are likely to become standard on 20/25 and 40/50 chassis. 19" G-56854 } two spoke 18" G-54976 } wheels. Hn.{F. C.
