| To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from B.J. X4586 BJ9/H7.1.25. 40/50 HP. New Type Steel Artillery Wheels. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}4/LG30.12.24. Do you consider these artillery wheels could be satisfactorily tested on the bump test instead of having them run on the road? It seems rather an expensive matter to run 10,000 miles to test Dunlop wheels. Do you think Dunlop would pay all or part of the expense? B.J. | ||
