| Claude Johnson Esq. (2) 6th June 1910. Studded tyres are noisy, hard, slow and expensive, and should only be used when and where necessary. Certainly not in dry weather on a trial chassis. My old, ugly body which is comfortable is much better than a finished one which is not so. I keep it in the rough to create the impression of its being a temporary arrange-ment. Yours sincerely, | ||
