Mr. Hancock from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Attached are memos. which are self-explanatory. You will see that it is assumed by London that we run with any old tyre pressures. There is a terrific scream on at the present time because one of the London Trials Cars has had a case of high speed steering wobbles. We have informed them that the tyre pressures on 93-NK. would be 45 lbs. front and 55 lbs. rear. We should like you to confirm what the actual tyre pressures were on the reports referred to. | ||
