STEERING WHEELS.
----------
As we are not likely to bring in the new wheel before B.2, I would finish up A.2. on the same lines that we have been working upon up to the moment, that is, we will use the 18" wheel for "C" and "D", and the 17" wheel for "B", but for B.2. Series we will use all 18" wheels.
