| X7820 To ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/LG14.11.28. TYRES. X7820 X2679 With reference to 32 X 6.75" tyres for the 'SS{S. Smith}'. Will you please order one set of these tyres in the standard triple stud tread. We suggest that you endeavour to obtain this size of tyre from Goodrich, or any other maker, in a silent tread so that we shall not be held up on the next two chassis in case Dunlops do not give us delivery. We would be willing to have these second two cars shod with Goodrich if they can supply tyres of this size. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
