| X4050. To C. from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}5/KT.26.5.32. TYRES. With reference to C12/C25.5.32. Since it will be only three weeks before we shall have the M.A.2. tyres to try out here, I think it will be worth while waiting this length of time in order to get some sort of experience of them before we standardise them. Since Dunlops are in any case making the moulds, this will actually mean little or no delay in getting hold of the tyres. We note what you say about the tyres and are writing to Dunlops to see if we can get hold of some of these at once. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
