| Tudor. Experimental Dept. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}9/KT. Sept 29th 1933. Earl of Rothes, 30 St.{Capt. P. R. Strong} John's Wood Road, London. N.W.8. Dear Rothes, Thank you for your letter of the 27th inst. We note that you are dealing with chassis that have already left the factory. All our cars have now left the works and no more will be produced for a little while. Perhaps you will see that a quantity of the new tyres are supplied here to be used as required in the future. We can use up the old tyres for running our test cars about, and would therefore be glad if you would send them to the works marked for the attention of Mr. Maddocks or myself. Yours sincerely, | ||
