| To ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X4565 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/LGB.9.26. 6.75" TYRES FOR 21" RIMS. With reference to our order for 4 6.75" tyres suitable for 21" rims. These tyres must be traction tread type. It has been agreed by Dunlops that they could supply us with traction tread. As they have already supplied us with a number of tyres of this type, we cannot understand it when they say they have no moulds. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
