Paul Worth, Esq., IndiaProduction 20 HP. with 4-speed box and Front Wheel Brakes Tyre & Rubber Co.Ltd., Inchinnan, Scotland. Dear Mr. Worth, Many thanks for your letter of the 12th October. We have tried out these tyres for silence; in the new condition they are very good. Our existing tyre however is satisfactory in the new condition, it is when partly worn that it becomes objectionably noisy. We are therefore at once proceeding to get some endurance on these new silent tyres, and will let you know as soon as we have further information. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
