| To CJ. from Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to Wor. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} [Handwritten] X4376 Hsl/LG11.6.21. [Handwritten] X.4376 [Handwritten] X.4050 RE. ENGLEBERT TYRES. With reference to Mr. Muhlenkampf's offer for tyres at 45% discount. At present we are not wanting any tyres. I have enquired in the Test Department and they say that they are well stocked with tyres. The reduction in the number of chassis means that they have a lot of tyres on hand. We do not want to accumulate any stock of tyres with the beaded edge as we anticipate very shortly, we shall have standardised the straight-sided tyre. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
