| DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} V3525 X4050 V3525 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/LG9.6.22. RE. DUNLOP MAGNUM COVER. We should imagine the Dunlop cover offered at 65% of the list price is the Dunlop Magnum canvas cover. We should anticipate that they would be very pleased to get rid of their canvas covers at 65% value. We are purchasing no canvas covers. All tyres, whatever make we buy now, have the cord fabric. We should not think it is worth while purchasing another tyre for the Delage Car, as possibly that car may be changed before the present tyres are worn out. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
