| X1336 Exptl. Dept. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 4/KW. 28th May, 1936. The Earl of Rothes, The IndiaProduction 20 HP. with 4-speed box and Front Wheel Brakes Tyre & Rubber Co.Ltd., Mileage Dept. (Area 'B'), 80, Clapham Road, LONDON, S.W.9. Dear Rothes, Many thanks for your letter of the 26th May. As you probably know, Worth is now recommending the wider rim, which will necessitate rebuilding the wheels. It will therefore be some little time before we shall be able to carry out tests. I do not think there would be any advantage in having a discussion until tests have been made, but we are despatching the wheels for modification to-day. Yours sincerely, | ||
