| Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from BJ. BJ6/H5.7.21. X3725 X.3725. DUNLOP WHEELS FITTED WITH GOODYEAR DEMOUNTABLE RIMS. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/LG25.6.21. Please let us know: 1. Whether it is intended that these wheels shall be standard on all chassis in future. 2. Can these wheels be used for all other makes of tyres, such as are now used? 3. If not, are we sure that we can obtain the straight-sided tyres all over the World as easily as the present tyres can be obtained? 4. Have we thoroughly tested the latest type of Dunlop wheels fitted with Goodyear demountable rims and the straight-sided tyres and found them satisfactory? If so, for how many miles have they been so tested? PTO [Stamp: RECEIVED] | ||
