I arrived here on the midday train from Paris. We are starting shifts on 3.B.IV. on Tuesday morning. A set of 6.50 x 17 India(Production 20 HP. with 4-speed box and Front Wheel Brakes) tyres have been received, but a day's running will be completed on the existing 6.00 x 17" tyres before the new ones are fitted, so as to gain a fair comparison between the two sizes. F. {Mr Friese} Dodd has been asked to forward us Four new 6.50 x 17 India(Production 20 HP. with 4-speed box and Front Wheel Brakes)s, so as to have some in reserve and if necessary, to have sufficient to finish off the test. We are hoping to receive these as soon as possible. Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /GWH {George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} /HFH. {Hoppy F. Hamilton} H. {Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} Hampton | ||
