| X3725. To By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} From Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/MJ.23.5.31. X5810. Y3725. 20/25 HP. ROAD WHEELS. Referring to By.6/G22.5.31. We should be very glad if you will order six road wheels in place of five, because the car fitted with these wheels will go to France and even though the car will only carry one spare wheel, we require a reserve wheel out there so that they have one replacement in the garage always ready.
