| W/P. Sr. from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}9/R.7.12.36. We have run Dunlop tyres on very wide Bentley wheel rims without any catastrophical eventualities. I do not think one would recommend them for a production job, but this is an experiment. Will you, therefore, try them out? Incidentally, please keep me in touch with expenses you are incurring in connection with experimental work you are doing on bearings, because I want to know what our commitments are in this respect.
