(For the attention of Dr. Young.) Dear Sirs, We are getting short of supplies of 6 1/2 x 17 tyres. Since we last wrote to you we have not heard any news of a further silent tyre with better cornering power. If you have not yet been able to evolve such a tyre, we should be glad if you would send us a further 10 tyres of the last type with the thin central rib. Yours faithfully, For ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
