RECEIVED This column is for Name of Person addressed: Mr Johnson DATE: 25-11-12 Re Dunlop Detachable Wheels for "The Charmer". TBB5/L251112 X15 You will remember that Mr Egan offered to let us have a set of Dunlop detachable wheels fitted to our heavy cars, and that it has been decided to fit these to "The Charmer" 1162. I find that the present Dunlop designs are unsatisfactory and that the Dunlop Company are at present engaged upon certain modifications. I propose therefore to hold over the fitting of this trials set until these modifications have been completed. I trust that this is in order. [Signature] T. B. Barrington [Handwritten note:] W.
