Dunlop Wheels. X15 Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} 21.7.13. Pd4/T/W21713. With reference to the Dunlop Wheels, Mr. Johnson asked me some time ago for a report on the running of these as soon as it was possible for one to be given. Can you please see Mr. Hives, who will be able to give a report on these wheels. I believe he had some trouble with the constructional details on the hubs of these wheels, although the cars which were running gave every satisfaction in the Austrian Trials. Perhaps you will report to Mr. Johnson. Pd. [Handwritten Note 1] Mr Hives 22-7-13 Please let me have your opinion on these wheels [Handwritten Note 2] Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} 22/7/13 A report on the behaviour of these wheels was embodied in my report on Austrian Trials 8/7/13, Since then I have seen Mr Bailey & he says that they have already altered the points we complain of.
