| X1332 S/W Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} C12/C26.11.35 Re DUNLOP TYRES. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}36/KW25.11.35 I note contents of your memo. and the steps you are taking in investigating this particular matter. Certainly instability would be exchanging one bad feature for another. I also note that you are trying to develop a double shackle which will give silence without lack of control. Dunlops at the moment feel that we have done them an injustice and I suppose to some extent we have, although, presumably, their tyres are fairly noisy. C. | ||
