| H50q. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/IMW.{Ivan M. Waller - Head of Chateauroux} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}1/R.2.9.39. Attached is a copy of a note I have received from Cowen. This illustrates the effect which your Daily Reports have on a non-technical mind. I should like you to run some standard Dunlops 6.50 x 16 Dunlop tyres, which I believe you have, and see how long they stand up under the treatment you can give them on the Streamline car. We should like you to be sure you get an average result on any given type of tyre before you allot it a figure of merit. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
