| Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} Tyres 12679 RECEIVED 29 NOV 1927 ROY{Sir Henry Royce}2/MG29.11.27 The British Goodrich Company will be delivering Five 33 x 6.75 Covers and Tubes suitable for fitment to Dunlop Well Base Rims in about a week from date, and I have told them we will advise them from time to time how the tests are proceeding, and let them see the Tyres themselves in due course. They state that Bentley Motors have standardised their 33 x 6.75 Balloon Tyres and 6½x1" Medium Pressure Tyres on their various Models for this Season. They claim their present Tread has never been altered in the slightest since its inception, and that their special method of water curing - details of which you will find on leaflet attached - is responsible in a large measure for the successful results obtained from their Tyres.
