MILEAGE DEPARTMENT (AREA "B") 80 CLAPHAM ROAD LONDON, S.W.9 TELEPHONES: RELIANCE 2662/3 9th April, 1935. W.A. ROBOTHAM, ESQ., Experimental Department, Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., D E R B Y. Dear Robotham, Many thanks for your letter of April 8th enclosing copy of your letter to Mr. Worth. No doubt you will be advising him where and when you wish the 4-ply 6.00-16 tyres sent ? I do not think you will find the tread noisy; nor do I think you will find that they screech on corners, unless, of course, they are under-inflated. I enclose herewith illustrations of the various treads we manufacture in car sizes, which show the "standard" tread supplied for India AERO CUSHION. Yours sincerely, Rothes- | ||
