| File 15/9/13 X15. D28/L1913. Re Dunlop Detachable Wire Wheels. D.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} WOR{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}41/T2913. Sept. 2nd. 1913. I think it would be a very good thing to use Dunlop's name in our catalogue, because it would mean that Dunlops would always have to make a very good job of their wheels. But I think that this should be delayed until we have a thorough test of these wheels. R.R. 238A. (150 (H) (XX). 18.7.13) E.P. 4686. | ||
