| X4050 R R. {Sir Henry Royce} 935B (100 T) S.H. T98/10-12-20 | G. {Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} 1918 To Co. from Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to Wor. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} Hsl/LG11.6.21. X4376 X4050 RE. ENGLEBERT TYRES. With reference to Mr. Muhlenkampf's offer for tyres at 45% discount. At present we are not wanting any tyres. I have enquired in the Test Department and they say that they are well stocked with tyres. The reduction in the number of chassis means that they have a lot of tyres on hand. We do not want to accumulate any stock of tyres with the beaded edge as we anticipate very shortly, we shall have standardised the straight-sided tyre. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
