c. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Experimental Dept. 43599 EWT/CEP2/EC17.4.25. Re. 20-HP Chassis 56-S-8. Replying to your memo reference D/BP/CW9.4.25, we shall be pleased to take the existing wire wheels from the above car into our stock to be used for test purposes. We cannot definitely say without inspection, what percentage value we can allow for these wheels, but allowing for two years service, we should estimate from 10 to 15% value. EWT/CEP. | ||
