| W/K.{Mr Kilner} To Pk. from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} c. By 1339 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}2/AP.9.11.37. DOMINION TYRES. We have never tried Dominion tyres ourselves on a Bentley, but have no objection to Mr. Rolfe doing so providing he fits them on all four wheels. We do not advise having India Tyres on the front and any other make on the back, as this causes the car to wander. When Mr. Rolfe has tried the tyres perhaps he will let us know what he thinks of them. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} | ||
