| 4457 H7/TB/21.1.25 S/W. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} Re:- High Speed Steering Wobbles. Your Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}3/LG9.1.25 has been attached to the papers in connection with the wobbles found on the Prince of Wales' car with Rapson tires, and put before BJ. He would like to know whether the Rapson tires with which you experimented in France, and which you compared with Dunlop tires, were of exactly the same size as the Dunlops. He would also like to have copies of the reports which you sent to the Rapson Tyre Company on the tires used in France, which reports Rapson refers to in his first letter to us, and which I mentioned in the last paragraph of my H2/TB/2.1.25.
