Mackay) Dear Sirs, We should like to discuss with you the behaviour of the tyres which we are running in France on our stream-line car, as the drivers are having considerable difficulty due to treads coming off. We are wondering, therefore, whether you can come to Derby on Tuesday of next week, August 8th, to discuss how best to overcome the trouble. Yours faithfully, For ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
