Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Y4565. BY/Mtnl2/G.20.1.27. [STAMP: RECEIVED JAN 21 1927] 40/50 HP. CHASSIS. The Dunlop Rubber Co. informed us on the telephone yesterday that they were sending six inner tubes for balloon tyres and five outer covers which incorporate their latest experiments in regard to triple stud tyres, and they asked if we would have them tested and let them know the results, particularly in connection with noise. We have informed the Stores that the covers and tubes should be sent over to the Experimental Dept. as soon as delivered. BY/Mtn. | ||
