We have received your memos RM{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/HMW 14/H/H 25'/26.1.39 for which we thank you. We note your remarks regarding the tyres & will bear them in mind. We will return the damaged tyre as requested, this tyre has not been put to any very bad treatment whilst in our hands & should estimate only 40-50 miles of rough loose stones. Regarding servo judders, these can be felt as light vibration on the pedal.
