To: "Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}" From: G.W.Hancock. --------------------- Re special enamelled wheels fitted to 93 NK. Three were enamelled by Dunlops, and three enamelled by R.R. We have run one Dunlop and one R.R. on the rear axle, and one Dunlop and one R.R. on the front axle, the position being cross-wise. These wheels have run approximately 21,000 miles. The condition of the two front wheels is good, the enamel on both being in a good condition. There is nothing to choose between the two. The rear wheels are in a poor condition, the enamel having worn off the rims and all front spokes. Of the two wheels, the Dunlop wheel is slightly worse than the R.R., but there is very little to choose between the two. G.W.Hancock. | ||
