| S/W {Sales / Derby Works} Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} γ 2679. C10/C20.6.32 X4050. Re TYRES. ------- I quite agree with you. We got these through the Managing Director of Goodyers being particularly desirous that LHS. {Lord Herbert Scott - Chair} should try them; it was a question of getting something for nothing. I see no reason why we should depart from Dunlops if the Goodyear are no better. We have had a letter from Dunlops this morning saying that they have already got the moulds in hand for the MA-2 tyres and hope to have tyres ready by the 18th of next month for fitting to our cars. If you see no objection, I propose arranging for the Dunlop MA-2 tyres to be used as standard as soon as thy become available. Will you please confirm that you agree. C.
