| xxx 2424 1336 January 17th.1938 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}1/AP. P.Worth Esq., India Tyre & Rubber Co.Ltd., Inchinnan, SCOTLAND. Dear Mr.Worth, Many thanks for your letter of January 14th, with regard to the new experimental tyre you are going to make. In our opinion it is not now worthwhile making any alteration to the 6.50/17 tyre you are about to supply in production quantities. We would much prefer to confine future tests to a 6.50/16 tyre. As you will remember from a letter we wrote you some time ago, we are in need of some silent tyres of this size, having temporarily accepted noisy ones. We hope, therefore, you will let us have the new 6.50/16 tyre as soon as possible. Yours sincerely, | ||
