| To C. From Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 82679 Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 5/MJ.17.6.32. Re. TYRES. G.10/C14.6.32. We always guard against any firm supplying us with parts to test free of charge. It immediately places us under an obligation. We believe Dunlops can give us an equal tyre to the Goodrich, all tyres are a compromise. Unless there are strong commercial reasons for departing from Dunlops, we should say we have no interest in testing Goodrich. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
