BY.12/G.21.10.32. We have nothing to add to By's. memo. except that it might be pointed out to the customer that the silent tyre is not a recent or an untried feature. We have been using these tyres for six or seven years and there is plenty of evidence to show that they are not dangerous. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
