| ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED, NIGHTINGALE ROAD, DERBY. TELEGRAMS: "ROYCAR," DERBY. TELEPHONES: 813 (Two Lines). DEPARTMENTAL MEMO. This column is for Name of Person addressed. DATE. follows:- 1. Whether it can be arranged for none but balanced tyres to be accepted by us. 2. Whether the steering can be re designed so that steering is not effected by tyres being out of balance. 3. Whether some satisfactory means of fixing balance weights to overcome unbalanced tyres can be found. It must be remembered that although the car when leaving the works is fitted with tyres which may be balanced up by means of these weights we cannot guarantee that when tyres are replaced or even a new inner tube fitted that the same balance will be preserved. In the meantime we are balancing any tyres which may be out of balance by Contd. This sheet must be filed with the correspondence to which it refers. | ||
