RE MICHELIN BUDD AMERICAN WHEELS. ---------- The following is an extract of a letter from the Michelin Company, proposing to send one of their Engineers and also a Fitter down to us when we fit the above wheels to one of the experimental cars:- " We should be very glad if you would advise us when you have fitted the American type wheels to a car, so that we could arrange for our Engineer to call upon you, accompanied by an expert Fitter, with a view to going into the question of tyre fitting generally with you". We attach herewith copy of memo we have sent to the Michelin Company regarding this suggestion. BY/Mtn. | ||
