| |331 W/S. C. from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}7/R.13.1.39. In reply to C3/C.11.1.39., preliminary tests we have so far carried out on the Avon Tyre show that it is very promising and exceedingly quiet. Therefore, at the moment, we cannot see why we should not accede to Avon's request. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
