X4462 Exptl. Dept. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson}22/KW. 8th January, 1935. The Earl of Rothes, The India Tyre & Rubber Co.Ltd., Mileage Dept. (Area "B"), 80, Clapham Road, LONDON, S.W.9. Dear Rothes, With regard to the two tyres which you have sent me to try with a view to offering them to Richard Summers, I have done a few hundred miles on these, and so far have no adverse comments to make except that they appear to be more noisy than the standard tyre. I see no objection to these tyres being offered to Mr. Summers for trial, only naturally we would ask you not to say that we have approved these tyres on such a superficial test, but point out that we have merely given them a provisional run. Yours sincerely, | ||
