Bailey - Chief Engineer} 1332 1164 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}4/AP.22.11.37. TYRES - P.III. AND 25/30.HP. At the moment, when a customer's first set of tyres wear out, he obtains new ones from his local agent and invariably gets the ordinary Dunlop variety which is noisier than those fitted at the Works. We recommend that a leaflet should be sent to owners telling them that when they need tyres they should order the Dunlop 'C' type. This tyre is the latest 2,000 tooth variety with continuous shoulders which will shortly be on Production. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} | ||
