| /33/. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}9/MH.{M. Huckerby} 27th. June, 1939. The Avon India Rubber Co. Ltd., Melksham, WILTS. For the attention of Dr. Mackay. Dear Sirs, Thank you for your letter reference JGM/NAW. of the 26th. June. Regarding the rim sizes you recommend, the initial testing on the 7½" tyre will be done on a 5.5 "E" type rim because the "F" type is not available. With regard to the last paragraph of your letter, the Pilote tyres we have are 225 x 400, which, we believe, is a special size they made for us. Yours faithfully, for ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
