NEW TYPE STEEL ARTILLERY WHEELS AND HUBS. --------------------------------- With reference to Wd{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead}17/NJ. 19.12.24. the set of five wheels referred to are in accordance with Mr.Royce's design for use with front wheel brakes on the 40/50 HP. chassis, therefore they should be handed over to the Experimental Dept. who will then arrange for the Standardization test to be carried out. We hope that Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} will arrange for these wheels to be standardized at the earliest convenience, as Sales Dept. have already got chassis waiting for this type of wheel to be fitted.
