| X256. To By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}22/KT.7.6.33. WHEELS FOR THE 3 1/2 LITRE BENTLEY. Although we do not recommend discs on wire wheels, we think it is necessary that, whether we adopt either Rudge-Whitworth or Dunlop wheels, it should be possible to fit discs. The present R.W. wheels we are using cannot be fitted with discs. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
