A.G.B. Owen, Esq.,
Messrs. Rubery, Owen & Co.,Ltd.,
DARLASTON,
Staffs:

Dear Owen,

While I was at Earls Court yesterday, I discovered that the wheel being used by Talbots on their 4-litre is made by you.

Would you be willing to supply us with such a wheel complete with centre disc, as we should be interested to examine it in connection with experiments on pressed steel wheels ?

Yours sincerely,
