| 1331 LES/FS.{F. Steele} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies} With regard to the 8 Avon tyres and tubes sent for the attention of Mr. Robotham. We understand that owing to present conditions Avons have no test cars running for tyre mileage, and that they have asked Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} to accept the tyres, and for us to record the mileage and afterwards return the tyres with the necessary data. It will, therefore, not be necessary to send any official order. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies} | ||
