| RAPSON TYRE & JACK COMPANY, Ltd CONTINUATION SHEET No. 1. Messrs.Rolls-Royce, Limited. patent double tread, as we feel sure that although the original treads have been worn away by maintain-ing a rather high speed average, the casings, even after a 10,000 miles run has been concluded, will be perfectly alright to take re-treads and run at least a further 10,000 miles. Yours faithfully, RAPSON TYRE & JACK COMPANY LIMITED. F.{Mr Friese} Lionel Rapson. Managing Director. | ||
