| 1097 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GB.4/ET. M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} PLATT, Esq., Engineering Department, Vauxhall Motors Ltd., LUTON, Beds. 21st September, 1940. Dear Mr. Platt, I wonder if you would be good enough to answer a query? In his weight estimates for the Vauxhall "E" type car, Maurice Olley puts down five wheels at 65 lbs., i.e. 13 lbs. each. This is unusually light for a wheel. Do you know how it was to be obtained? Yours sincerely, | ||
