To Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X 5840 X5840 (crossed out) X5820 Hal/LG28. 8. 25. TYRES USED IN CONNECTION WITH 10,000 MILES TEST ON 20 HP. IN FRANCE. We attach a report from Chateauroux which gives the consumption of tyres. I believe we could make arrangements with the Dunlop Co. so that they would supply all the tyres for test cars in France free of charge. If we did this they would want to make their own records as regards the tyres, and they would expect all information on the condition of the car and condition of running. We have hesitated in suggesting to the Administration that we try and make some arrangement because of their obsession to secrecy. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
