| To Ps. Paris. From HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} X 4050 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}4/LGS.10.26. 6.75" TYRES. X4565 This is to confirm our wire of even date. We are carrying out further tests on 6.75" tyres with traction tread. You will recollect that I fitted some of these to 12-EX car about a month ago before CWB. took the car over. They are marked for straight sided tyres but they fit on our well base wheels. We are shortly conducting a test on these tyres in France. Unfortunately they have temporarily ceased to make this pattern in England and we are therefore relying on obtaining the tyres we require in Paris. Will you please wire us immediately if you are unable to obtain XXXXX six 6.75" tyres with traction treads. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
