| HS {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Copy MYERS & BURNELL, Telephone No.477. AUTOMOBILE CARRIAGE BUILDERS, DAVYDATE, YORK. C/HD. {Mr Hayward / Mr Huddy} August, 29th, 1923. Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., 14/15, Conduit Street, London. W. 1. Dear Sirs, Re:- 40/50 h.p. Car No. 32 ZG. Sir Lycett Green, Bart. Our client is experiencing considerable trouble with the tyres of his 40/50 h.p. car. For some unaccountable reason the tyres come completely off the rims. When Sir Lycett was in London recently, you supplied a new wheel and tyre complete. We have to-day supplied him with a new tube, and shall be glad of your opinion with regard to this trouble, and what steps you advise taking. We are returning, under separate cover, the tube which you will see is completely ruined. Yours faithfully, MYERS & BURNELL. H. {Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} DARBY. | ||
