PN.{Mr Northey} CWB Handwritten: X4050 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/LGS.1.27. TYRES. Handwritten: X4050 / X8820 In connection with the chassis ordered specifically for high speed work, we consider that the customer should be advised to have high pressure tyres as we find that these are, on the whole, more satisfactory than the 6.75" tyre for conditions of maximum speed. Should the customer shew a definite preference for low pressure tyres, there is no specific reason why he should not have them.
