| X4565 Expl. Office, Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., Derby. HsL/T4.9.26. Mr. W.A. Robotham, Hotel de France, Chateauroux, Indre, France. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} We attach herewith some correspondence on low pressure tyres. It has been arranged that PN.{Mr Northey} will meet CWB. in France and that they will change the wheels and tyres over from 12-EX to 8-EX. As you will be seeing CWB. you can explain to him that the two 6.75" Dunlops should be run on the front wheels so that they can try the proposed standard tyres under steering conditions.
