| J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} for R.{Sir Henry Royce} 9.12.13. Da{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}6/G91213. With reference to your notes R2/P171113, and R11/P281113 re Detachable Wood Wheels, I send you herewith a print F.4375 which shews the Dunlop Detachable Wood Wheels as proposed by them. These fit exactly on to the existing wire wheel hubs and Wood-wheel axles and give a point of intersection as shewn on the print. I am now proceeding to modify the locking etc. to bring this point into section as close as possible.
