STEERING WHEELS. ----------------- Referring to Royl/MG. 30.1.25. the casting difficulty remains whether we maintain the present design or the Dover type. The real difficulty of course is producing castings for the wheel centre. This is common to both types of wheel. We do not anticipate continued difficulty with production of our own wheel, as we are gaining experience rapidly, and I anticipate that any difficulty which exists in regard to the producing of castings will be practically overcome in the near future.
