7th April, 1936.

Mrs. E.R. Hall,
Hartley Cottage,
Kirkburton,
Yorkshire.

Dear Mrs. Hall,

Confirming our Telephone conversation this afternoon the overall diameter of the 6.00/19 tyre on a 4.00 x 19 rim is 31.95" at 38 lbs. inflation pressure. The effective radius with a load of 9 cwts. (standing) is 15.22" and at 60 m.p.h. it increases to 15.37".

The overall diameter of this tyre on a 3.62 x 19 rim is the same as on a 4.00 x 19 rim. The 3.62 rim will be quite satisfactory from our standpoint.

Yours faithfully,

INDIAProduction 20 HP. with 4-speed box and Front Wheel Brakes TYRE & RUBBER CO. Ltd.,
