RE RUDGE-WHITWORTH DETACHABLE WIRE WHEELS. With reference to the attached we should be interested to know from Messrs. Rudge-Whitworth what demount-able rims were used in conjunction with the Rudge-Whitworth wheel. We assume that the cars would certainly be fitted with straight sided tyres and would therefore have to have some form of demountable rim. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
