| To Bm/Wym.{G. Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} AVON TYRES. Avons tell me that they have supplied some 6.50 x 16 tyres with the edges of the pattern modified to eliminate squealing. If these are in the Stores I should be glad if you would try them out and let me have a report on them. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
