I was interested in your remarks with regard to the abnormal tyre wear on the front of the SpectreCodename for Phantom III. You will remember that you had some peculiar results on the last Phantom Car we ran in France, are the SpectreCodename for Phantom III results worse than these? We should like to have one of the worn out tyres returned to Derby so that we can discuss the wear with the Dunlop Rubber Co. The rear Tyres seem to have worn out rather rapidly: I presume this is mainly due to the very hot weather. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
