| SECRET. 1339. W/S. To Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} from Roy.{Sir Henry Royce} c. to HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} ROY.{Sir Henry Royce}8/B.23.8.38. TYRE PRICES Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}2/L.22.8.38. Your remarks re the above are noted. I will report further re Dunlop immediately Mr. Shankland returns from holiday and gives us his final proposals. It is noted you agree India Tyres for the Bentley III for the ensuing season. I think for reasons of policy it would be advisable not to close with the India Co. before the discussion with Mr. Shankland, and shall conclude you are in agreement unless you advise to the contrary.
