| X4050 To Wd.{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to EY. c. to C. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}6/LG19.7.21. X4050 DUNLOP STRAIGHT-SIDED TYRES. We have issued standardisation sheets for the above tyres. Most of these standardisation sheets have not been sent to R.{Sir Henry Royce} and CJ. because we have not been able to obtain the difference in costs between the straight-sided tyres and the beaded edge tyres. We have also had a communication from BJ. querying whether straight-sided tyres could be obtained from all countries throughout the world. We explained to him that we thought we could. If there is any doubt on this point, our agents in different countries should be able to give us the necessary information. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
