Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Gry {Shadwell Grylls} 1/R.15.9.37. BENTLEY TYRES. In reply to your Cx {Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} 10/KW13.9.37., there is no technical objection to fitting Dunlop tyres on Bentley chassis. As we have not had any Dunlop tyres of this size in the Works we cannot tell you whether they will wear better or worse than IndiaProduction 20 HP. with 4-speed box and Front Wheel Brakes tyres. We have received to-day from IndiaProduction 20 HP. with 4-speed box and Front Wheel Brakes's a further set of more silent tyres for test, and we shall be reporting on these in due course.
