| X929 To D.A. from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rml/LG15.10.27. R.A.F. WHEELS. We are sending you herewith details of the present R.A.F. type wheels made in France together with a letter from the makers. When we were over at the Paris Salon we asked these people if they would be willing to make wheels for us to our particular design, as apparently there was an impression over here that Dunlops were not at all anxious to undertake the job. If we could do anything further in this matter, will you please let us know. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} | ||
