Honeyman - Retail orders}3/I.2.4.32., and the one Henley tyre which we have received it is of course impossible to try the one tyre and give any opinion on its silence and non skidding properties. We appreciate that you could not refuse to accept the present of the tyre under the circumstances, but if it is really necessary to test these tyres we must have a set of four. If you think it sufficiently important we will obtain a set and give you the information required. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/A.J.Lidsey. | ||
