| K.{Mr Kilner} c. GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} c. C. BY.4/G.25.6.38. ROAD WHEELS - RE: DISCS FITTED TO WIRE WHEELS. From time to time complaints arise on customers cars which are finally traced to movements of the cover discs, which have been fitted to the wheels by coachbuilders at the customer's request. Where complaints of creaks are investigated and it is found that they are due to the discs, the customers should be charged. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
