| R11/P 28.11.13. Sheet 2. CC upon the hubs, and it is possible also to get them off the hubs after they have been on for some little time, that is, I fear, as I have pointed out before that they will not screw them-selves up tightly enough to prevent movement, or they will screw themselves so tightly as to make it difficult to remove them. If this is a fallacy I want it exploded, and I should be glad to have any reports concerning R.W. Wheels on our heavy cars. So far I can see up to the present the Dunlops made to our particular requirements are doing well, but they are naturally more complicated and probably slightly heavier. They keep tight and are easily removed. R.{Sir Henry Royce} c/o and drawings. | ||
