By1/G301213. In order to change wood wheels to wire wheels on all series up to and including chassis 2699, it would only be necessary to supply one complete set of type D4 Dunlop Wire Wheels. I would like to point out however, that this type of wheel has, of course, its inner fixed hub in two pieces. If it is proposed to try and use the new one piece inner hub as used on "A" series cars, this would mean a very expensive alteration. It would practically mean supplying new hubs to part list of rear hub herewith, G.2902 sheet 6. It does not seem to me however, necessary to go to this latter expense, the ordinary D4 Dunlop seeming to be quite sufficiently satisfactory in making such a change over. By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} This sheet must be filed with the correspondence to which it refers. | ||
