ROAD WHEELS. After much writing to the Dunlop Rim & Wheel Co. we have got from them CDS.1190 showing the 16" rim with our normal balance weight fixing. We have 10 wheels to this drawing in the Expl. Dept. We suggest that this wheel should be put on the LOP. and that we accept the necessary spoking arrangement unless any trouble is experienced.
