Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/IMW.{Ivan M. Waller - Head of Chateauroux} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}

Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}5/R.25.2.38.

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}
