RE BALLOON TYRES FOR 20 HP. & 40/50 HP. CHASSIS. ----------------------------------------------------- In reply to EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}/Thn6/H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} 21.5.25. the position is still the same in regard to balloon tyres, and they should certainly not be fitted to chassis with FWB. Under these circumstances, we presume that you will issue the necessary instructions to the various Depots. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
