Messrs. Rolls-Royce Limited, DERBY. For the attention of the Experimental Dept.. Dear Sirs, In connection with balancing of tyres, we have recently sent you 6 - 32 x 6.75 tyres which we have balanced and which we believe will come within your tolerances. We have also sent 25 - 32 x 6.75 tyres to Messrs. Car Mart Limited, London, which are to be fitted to Rolls-Royce Cars. I believe that all these tyres will come within your tolerances. I would be glad to have your comments in connection with this matter. We note in your letter to Captain Bowman of Car Mart Limited you state "We are at this moment consistently receiving covers to within 67" (inch) oz. out of balance". We would like to know exactly how this measurement is taken and what your method is for checking the balance on tyres. Yours faithfully, INDIA TYRE & RUBBER CO. (G.B.) LIMITED. Paul Writton Works Manager. | ||
