| To ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} X4050 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}1/LG14.9.26. 6.75" DUNLOP TYRES. X4050 With reference to Roy{Sir Henry Royce}5/MG7.9.26. We are willing to try 6.75" triple stud tyres owing to the fact that no traction treads are available. However, we understand that the triple stud tread is being modified and that no tyres are as yet obtainable with the modified pattern. Messrs. Dunlop have however agreed to press the alteration and let us have some of the modified tyres at the earliest possible moment. Will you please therefore obtain for us - 4 6.75" covers for well base rims with the present triple stud tread as previously ordered in our Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/LG31.8.26.
