CHASSIS - WHEELS WITH WELL BASE RIMS.

We expect to send a standardisation sheet round for the well base wheels and tyres for the 20 HP. in a few days time. The car in France is running with these wheels and tyres fitted has completed 7,000 miles. As soon as the 10,000 miles is completed we propose sending round a standardisation sheet.
The 20 HP. car has a bigger margin against high speed wobbles. If it is desired these wheels and tyres could be fitted.
