W. Hallam - Head Repairs} 661 of Sept. 29th. In view of what you say we should be glad if you would send us five 'C' type covers 7.00 x 17 for which our Order Office will send you an official order. We should like to know at what pressures these tyres give the same cushioning as the 6 1/2 x 17 at both 25 and 30 lbs/sq.in. In both cases we use a 4" rim. Yours faithfully, for ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
