Re Balloon Tyres on 20 h.p.
--------

We note from your Ms/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}6/LG16.3.27 that you have no objection to 33 x 6 balloon tyres being fitted to a new 20 h.p. where specially demanded by the customer.

May we take it that this also applies to cars already issued provided the customer buys hydraulic shock absorbers and you have changed the side and cross steering tubes?

C.
