| contd:- -2- Hsl/LG26.10.21. ---------- We feel that we should certainly have an alternative wheel to "the Michelin Disc Wheel. We ought to have designs in hand in order to be able to fit wire wheels if necessary at an extra cost. As the fitting of wire wheels may demand serious alterations to the front axle or pivots, we recommend that this work should be put in hand. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} R.R. 1358 (100) (T S.
