When Price of Dunlops was here the other day he told us that when our Paris Depot requires new wheels such as replacements after accidents, they order them from Beaufils, and that wheels then supplied do not have rims of normalised material. This material is used on all wheels which leave the Factory. Price told us that if you would make a point, when ordering wheels from Beaufils, of stating that the rims must be normalised, Beaufils would then be able to get such rims from Paris Dunlops, who, in turn, would get the right article from the English manufacturer.
