Chassis B-35-AE. E.R. Hall.

Replying to G/Rb.{R. Bowen}3/A/W.19935.

The Dunlop tyres were taken off by the India Co's racing staff in Ireland. The 10 wheels and tyres in question were sent back to London by Mr. E.R. Hall. As the wheels and tyres were originally ordered by Mr. Hall himself and the whole transaction carried through direct with the Dunlop Co., we are not aware of the arrangements made regarding costs.

With regard to the battery, I removed the Exide battery in Ireland, and replaced it by a Peto & Radford battery. The Exide battery was sent back to the Works, and is now in Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst's possession.
