| -3- With the sheet steel wheel, having no greater thickness than the tyre we shall wish to bury the wheel so deeply into the wing that a cover of your normal type would appear redundant. We recall our suggestion that you might like to consider the design of a cover rather like a lid{A. J. Lidsey} fitting approximately to the wheel. We would like the general appearance to resemble as much as possible your normal cover. We would like to thank you for coming to Derby and for the help you have given us. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. Car Project Office. | ||
