| To Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /FD. {Frank Dodd - Bodies} 2/KW.19.10.35. Re Avon Duo Tread Tyres. Owing to this set of tyres being very unsatisfactory with regard to noise, they were run on J-III chassis, the mileage being 8,326. We can hardly form a comparison, however, with our other cars and tyres, as this car was mainly used for transport work. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /F.Dodd. | ||
