| To EH. from R.{Sir Henry Royce} -2- R1/G30/9/19 Contd. Mr. Haldenby remarked on seeing these covers, that water gets behind them, causing corrosion etc. In conclusion, it would seem that providing we can get Michelin disc wheels satisfactory, they are much the best proposition when disc wheels are demanded by customers, so that we must push on with the testing of these with the possibilities of recommending them in the case where customers demand other than wire wheels.
