Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd.,
DERBY.
Dear Robotham,
Many apologies for troubling you again, but the following is a copy of a letter I have to-day received from Mr. Worth, our Works Manager. Could you be so kind as to give him the report he wants?
"With reference to your memo. in connection with Colonial tyres for Bentley, I believe we could make alterations which would make the tyre operate more silently but this might have the effect of slightly reducing the nonskid qualities.
In view of this I should like if possible to have a report from Mr. Robotham as to the wearing quality and nonskid properties of the tyres"
Yours sincerely,
Rothes.
