| 1375 Wheels Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /GB.6/ET. 9th October, 1940. The Manager, The Kelsey Hayes Wheel Co. Ltd., 106, Regent Street, LONDON S.W.1. Dear Sir, Some time ago you were in communication with Messrs. Vauxhall Motors Ltd., concerning a wheel with a weight of only 13 lbs., to take a 5.50 x 16 tyre. We understand that, at the time, this light wheel was not thoroughly tested. We would like particulars of this wheel, including its present weight. Yours sincerely, | ||
