BJ. has been on the telephone this afternoon to emphasize the fact that he considers the road test should be started with the new design steel artillery wheels as soon as possible. He states that he wants them to call at London on the way, for them to test and observe, which they expect will take about a day, and which will be included in the running test. The idea of the visit to London is to enable Sales to form an opinion as to the appearance of the wheels, and formally pass them from the point of view of general suitability. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} BJ | ||
