| 1091 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}8/R.{Sir Henry Royce} 4th January, 1939. Capt. S.B. Wilks, The Rover Company Ltd., COVENTRY. Dear Wilks, Many thanks for your letter of January 3rd. I am afraid I cannot answer your question as to what we are going to do about Avons, as we do not know ourselves until their tyre is finalised. However, at the moment, we are working with them to produce the best cover we know of. We find them very nice people to work with. It is unfortunate that policy plays such a large part in tyre equipment as we find to our disadvantage. Yours sincerely, | ||
