| XU46 Experimental Dept. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}S/KT. December 11th 1933. Earl Of Rothes, Crathorne Hall, Crathorne, Yorks. Dear Rothes, We are getting some rather peculiar tyre wear on the front axle of our car which is running in France, the characteristics of which have slightly altered since we increased the transverse king pin angle from 2º - 5º. If your factory would like to see these tyres we can arrange to send them to you. Yours sincerely, | ||
