| S/W Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Y4586 Re Steel Artillery Wheels. Confirming our conversation of yesterday, I hope you will kindly do everything you can to push through the testing of these steel wheels, because we are in rather a cleft stick at the moment - we tell people we do not recommend discs, they have no alternative to offer them when the chauffeur raises an objection to cleaning the wire wheels. I understand you have got a set now, that you will put on your "Express 10,000 miles" car. C. | ||
