| (Handwritten) BY No doubt you will deal with this matter Hdp X4462. 115 S/W. (Handwritten) Bsll/H.31.3.31. V/31 Re: Car No. 121-XJ. T. Barclay Esq. We are attaching, hereto, copy of a letter received by this owner from the India Tyre & Rubber Co. which has reference to the present wheel and tyre equipment on the Car. This Chassis was originally fitted with Dunlop Tyres, but presumably Mr. Barclay had these removed and India Super Tyres fitted. We have been asked to give our comments on the remarks made by the Tyre Makers in connection with the wear sustained by the inner tubes. You will see that they attribute this to the fact that the 6.75. covers are not suitable for wheels having wellbase rims. Perhaps you will kindly give the matter your consideration and then let us know what we should reply. (Handwritten Signature) Bs.{A J.
