| X3926. To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re Bensport. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}8/E30.12.32 Copy to WOF. ROI. [text is crossed out] I should like the testing of the experimental cars carried out on India tyres and Goodrich with a view to our standardizing one or the other. It has been, as you know, my policy all along to have as many differences as possible between RR and Bensport and I want to get away from Dunlop. Bentley's always used Goodrich. If you favour any other British tyre more than Goodrich or India, please let me know. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
