We have asked the British Tyre & Rubber Co. to send a set of 5 tyres and tubes to 12, Avenue George V.{VIENNA} marked for your attention. We have quarreled with the India Tyre Co., over the matter of price, and the British Tyre Co. has submitted a tyre which compares very favourably with the India tyre at a very attractive figure. We should like you to run these tyres as soon as you can, and let us have your opinion on them. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
