Tyres

Following our recent conversation, the North British Rubber Company, of Edinburgh, have sent in one set each of 20 HP. and 40/50 HP. Tyres of their latest type, the treads of which embody the mixings previously standardised by the Rapson Company.

You will recollect the North British people are now making the Rapson Tyres at Edinburgh.

They have supplied these Tyres on preferential terms, and we should be interested to hear the result of your tests in due course, for various reasons.
