| K3536 To Roy.{Sir Henry Royce} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} c. to Mt. Stores. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}6/LG4.9.28. We are sending into the Stores to be returned to Messrs. Rapson : 4 of their tyres. These were loaned to us under the condition that we would return them if they were unsatisfactory. These tyres have done less than 500 miles. We are not satisfied with them because they groan and give rise to vibrations at low speeds. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} | ||
