W/S - C. c. to By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} 561 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}20/KW.13.5.35. A.Y. Gowan. Replying to C6/C.10.5.35. The smaller wheels have of course not been standardised on the 20/25, but there is no other reason that we know of what they should not be fitted, apart from this fact. The smaller wheels will not of course have any effect on the lightness or otherwise of this customer's steering. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
