| Form No. ST 18 INTER-DEPT. MEMO. From: Mr. Young. INCHINNAN To: The Right Hon. Earl of Rothes. Date: 18.7.34. JY/HDE. Handwritten Note: x4462 Subject: Bentley Tyres. In replying to your memo of July 14th we are enclosing herewith a copy of correspondence which we have had with Mr. Robotham on the subject of Tyre Pressures raised by Mr. Bernard Hopps. You will note that we have sent these to Mr. Robotham as Mr. Worth was undecided as to whether we should handle it direct with Mr. Bernard Hopps, or through the Rolls-Royce Company, and he decided on the former method with a copy to Rolls-Royce. I am also enclosing a copy of a letter which I have just dictated to Mr. Robotham, giving the measurements of the 6.00/18 Super Special Cover. The measurements on the 6.50/18 Speed Special are as follows:- Cross Section Inflated 6.09" Overall Diamter 30.22" Effective Radius 14.12" Weight 25.75 lbs. We should be glad to send you any further information which you require. Assistant Works Manager. | ||
