Re: Road Wheels for Wraith Chassis. -------- Referring to Roy.{Sir Henry Royce}1/MG.28.8.37, the proposals put forward by the Dunlop Co. to effect economies are, in every case, modifications which have been found essential after the originals wheels had been ordered. The last time we tried to use a cheaper wheel, led to all the parts referred to being necessary, therefore there is no object in re-considering these features, as we know quite well we cannot do without them.
