| To BN.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} From EH. EH1/LG23.7.19. 23rd. July 1919. RE - STAND FOR CHANGING TYRES ON DETACHABLE WHEELS. X.3578. With reference to the above stand, I have not been able to find anything locally, suitable for this purpose. I do not think we shall get any sort of stand which will be firm enough on its base to stand changing a cover. I think it will have to have a fixing which is either cemented into the floor or bolted to a wall or a bench. I think that for universal use, the wall bracket would be the most suit-able. Will you please instruct the D.O. to prepare schemes of a suitable bracket - if they will come and see us, we will give them our views of how it should be made. EH.
