| Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Ltd. - 5 - my ideas clearly in letter form, but perhaps you can follow my ideas in this matter to a certain extent. I will hope to have the pleasure of an opportunity to discuss this, and other matters with you in further detail a little later on. I shall be spending the next few weeks in America, but will be very glad to pay a visit to you at Derby -- if I may -- after my return in early January. Incidentally, I wonder if the mileages you have obtained to date in test from Goodyear All-weather tread straight-side cord tyres have been satisfactory, and if, by any chance, you are contemplating equipping a certain few of your regular output with them. Sincerely yours, E P Preston Managing Director. ERP/LF. THE GOODYEAR TYRE & RUBBER CO. (GT.BRITAIN) LTD. | ||
