Will you please order from the India Tyre Co., Inchinnan, eight complete tyres with the special silent non-skid tread similar to those which they have recently supplied for the Bentley car. We should like them to arrange to deliver these tyres to C.W.Hancock, Hotel de France, Chateauroux, Indre, France. We require the tyres to be out there in about fourteen days. We have already spoken to their representative the Earl of Rothes, and have told him verbally that we should require these tyres at Chateauroux. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
