| Hoob. To Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/IMW.{Ivan M. Waller - Head of Chateauroux} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} Chateauroux. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}4/MH.{M. Huckerby}15.3.39. TYRES. We seem only to have received at Derby one Dunlop 4-ply tyre which has burst. Six such tyres altogether were sent to France, and as you know, we have promised Dunlops they shall see them afterwards, whether they burst or not. Can you, therefore, tell us how many have left Chateauroux and how many altogether have burst. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} | ||
