A great day

I went to Huddesfield to collect the wheels today.  1/2 a ton of grey cast iron.  They look great but the foundry have had a steep re-learning curve to reproduce what Miller's made in the 1890's.  However they look good and we got them safely back to Leeds and unloaded.  They were put on the Transit with a fork lift truck, we unloaded them by sliding them down two old corner pillars from 107.  They ahve now been painted in red primer and will be stored until we get the axle's designed and machined. 

On the car iteslf Jim and Stephen persevered with the triangular fillets and now both sides are done and in primer.  the ends should be done next week.

Pictures to follow tomorrow.
