| X4379. To Wor. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} from Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 11/KT.15.11.33. With reference to Wor {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} 7/R.14.11.33, we are running these Duo-tread tyres, but have not covered sufficient mileage to be able to pass a considered opinion on them. One disadvantage we have so far noticed is that they are noisy on smooth wet roads; on the other hand they are good non-skids.
