RUDGE WHITWORTH ROAD WHEELS. In view of the results obtained on Bensport and Peregrine with Rudge Whitworth wheels, we are very anxious to try these out on the 25 HP. We have two complete sets of wheels and hubs, one set which was originally fitted to Wor {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} 's car and one set which has never been used. Will you please arrange to have these two sets of wheels fitted to 18.G.IV. and 19.G.IV. Provision will of course have to be made to carry the spare wheel on the existing spare wheel carrier. The job is very urgent, so we should be glad if you will give it your earliest attention. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Lid. {A. J. Lidsey} | ||
