| Roy.{Sir Henry Royce} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} x4462. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/WU.13.11.30. Some time ago we ordered a set of 40/50 India tyres. These have not come to hand, probably owing to the fact that the Comapny were redesigning their moulds to suit our requirements. However, since R.{Sir Henry Royce} has asked for them to be fitted to his new car which will be going to France in about three weeks, we should rather like to know how the matter stands. At the same time we should like to get a set of 20 HP., so that we can carry out tests on our next 10,000 miles in view of R's interest in the matter. Will you please see what you can do for us.
