| 133/ W/S. C. from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}7/R.10.1.39. With reference to C12/C6.1.39., we have not yet tried out the Avon tyre in its final form, but will let you know as soon as we have made tests. We anticipate that the tyres will be really silent, as Avons have been working with us for some time. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
