Frost - Coachwork Inspector}1/BG. 20.9.34. the Experimental Department inform me that they are in agreement with the use of the 5 - 90" pattern tyres (Dunlop) being used in place of the Buttressed type. The latter is much too noisy for our use, and the improved 5 - 90" represents what the Experimental consider to be the best compromise. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} By | ||
