Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/R2.8.39 C3/C4.8.39 I am interested to note what you say regarding the India tyre shedding its tread at 3 miles. What tyres did you use when Eyston did his stuff at Brooklands, and what did you use when you were out with Embericos's car in Germany and France? I shall be interested to know this. In the meantime you do not reply to the last paragraph of my memo. of the 1st inst., regarding the tyres for the Silver Phantom. C. | ||
