22.G.V.

We are unable to say definitely that new spokes have never been fitted to road wheels at Chateauroux and unfortunately the occasion of 22.G.V. is sometime ago.

The small spokes which were found in the wheel were removed at the Dunlop Works and are therefore not obtainable as evidence. In future, we shall regard with great suspicion wheels which have been damaged in an accident.
