Bowen} c. to Mr.Hives. ---------------- We received a visit this afternoon from the representatives of the Dunlop Company, who brought with them and left behind, two Dunlop Wheels. One is an improved scheme for wiring wheels, so arranged that the spokes do not require to be bent, and the other is a scheme for a Dunlop Disc Wheel, which they are bringing out. This wheel is at present only in the experimental stage, and this we believe is the first wheel wheel to leave their hands. If you would like to inspect these wheels we will have them sent down to you, but we propose sending them over to Mr.Royce certainly not later than Monday. BY/RB.{R. Bowen} | ||
