| COPY. X.990 1 To R.{Sir Henry Royce} from CJ. CJ10/D9.3.20. My Dear R.{Sir Henry Royce}, X.990-997 With reference to my remarks that Maddocks had had trouble with Dunlop tyres in France, I now learn from BJ. that the trouble arises from the fact that Dunlop tyres will not keep on Michelin Disc Wheels, but the Michelin Tyres appear to to keep on these wheels. The drivers in France told Maddocks that the Michelin Disc Wheels buckle badly. Yours ever (sgd.) CJ. R R 235 B (200'D) (S F 674. 22-5-19) G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} 2376. | ||
