| W/P. To Sr. from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} [strikethrough]EHA.[/strikethrough] 1245 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}14/AP.27.11.36. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} says you are not altogether satisfied with the handling of your Trials Bentley when running on 6 X 17 India Tyres. This is more or less in agreement with tests being carried out in England. We should therefore like to have your opinion of the handling of the car when running on 6 X 17 Dunlop 90 tyres. If you are unable to obtain a set of these in France we will send some over to you. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} | ||
