With reference to G/Gn/CA.19/DW.10.7.33. These tyres have been received from the Dunlop Rubber Co. They were supplied for competition with the India tyres which we propose to use on the Bentley cars. We do not know whether it is usual to pay list price less 50% for such tyres, but if so, a covering order should be issued. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
