RE TYRES.

CJ/JS{Mr Johnson's Secretary}5/D21.4.20.

My Dear R.{Sir Henry Royce} x.990 - x.3482

Referring to the attached correspondence, I think the facts referred to therein must be borne in mind when we consider whether to adopt the Michelin Disc Wheels as standard.

The fact that Dunlop tyres will not keep on them seems to me a great disadvantage.

Yours ever

CJ.
