I confirm mine Wd{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead}1/NJ3.6.21. I am sending you herewith copy of a note (Wd{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead}12/NJ1.6.21) which I addressed to C.(Sales) on the 1st inst., together with copy of Bs{A J. Barnes - Assistant Manager}4/CM3.6.21 in reply. I am under the impression that the wire wheel with removable flange for straight-side tyre has already been standardised. If I am wrong, will you please correct me. Evidently Bs.{A J. Barnes - Assistant Manager} is under the impression that these wheels are not standardised. Wd{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead}12/NJ1621 att.
