| RM{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X256 BY.5/G.8.5.33. 3½ LITRE BENTLEY. Both Rudge Whitworth and the Dunlop Companies inform us that it would take three weeks to a month to supply 12 sets of hubs and wheels to the latest drawings from the time we issue instructions for this to be done. You asked for this date with the object of fixing a point at which you would definitely determine the type of wheel to be put on the 12 chassis. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} BM | ||
