| -2- W.A.Robotham, Esq., 26th August, 1935. I understand it has been decided to use 6.50/19 on the rear and 5.50/19 on the front. Needless to say, I am extremely anxious that Mr.Hall should use our Tyres, but he explained to me that he would have to have a very good excuse to be able to get out of his agreement with Dunlop. If, however, on test our Tyres showed a definite advantage, this might supply him with a sufficiently good reason to do so. I thought you would like me to keep you posted as regards the situation. Yours sincerely, Rothes LONDON MANAGER: | ||
