With reference to E/Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}1/MN.26.5.36. and in regard to the bronze faced cones for the Rudge Whitworth type road wheel retaining nuts, which were incidentally suggested to Rudge Whitworth some years ago by BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer}, the objection raised at that time was the question of cost. However, we propose to take the matter up with the Dunlop Co. in order to ascertain the difference in cost between the above and the present standard type. BY/Cgh.{W Clough} | ||
