| X1238 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/LG. 10th. Dec. 1923. Messrs. Rapson 35 New Cavendish Street, (struck through) Great Portland Street, (struck through) London W.1. (struck through) New Malden, (handwritten) Surrey (handwritten) Dear Sirs, We attach a report on the 32 X 4 1/2 tyres which you kindly sent to us for test. Our first impression of these tyres was that although the pressure was the same as we use with the Dunlop cords, the riding of the car appeared to be harder as though the side walls of these tyres were stiffened. At a convenient opportunity we will make a comparison over a similar road and will report to you the results. Yours faithfully, | ||
