| S/W. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} x1332 Cx{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager}5/KW19.10.35. We have two set of tyres, one Dunlop and one Firestone, removed from 34-EX, for which we have no further use as we are demonstrating on Goodrich. Can you please arrange to have these tyres used up on some of your experimental cars, so as to avoid their being scrapped ? As they have been used already we cannot return them to the Tyre Companies. RC{R. Childs} is arranging to send them by one of the Works lorries when in London. Could you kindly pass a note through to whoever controls the movements of the Works lorries operating between W. and London asking them to call at LH{Mr Haworth} for these tyres and have them brought to you.
