| X133/ Exptl. Dept. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/KW. 21st October, 1935. The Avon India Rubber Co.Ltd., 41 & 42, Livery Street, BIRMINGHAM 3. Dear Sirs, Replying to your letter of the 15th October, owing to the set of Avon Duo Tread Tyres being unsatisfactory with regard to noise, they were run on a car which is mainly used for transport work. It is hardly possible for us, therefore, to form a comparison with our other cars and tyres. The mileage run by these tyres was 8,326. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
