To RM{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/IMW.{Ivan M. Waller - Head of Chateauroux}

We reported the burst tyre yesterday as being a Dunlop, this is not so, it is an India similar to the previous one returned.

On looking up the records we find that it was discarded 7.11.38 for a burst in the wall which was not noticed at the time we fitted it.

This tyre has covered 1705 miles.
