| R.R. 235A (500 T) (S.D. 408. 26-4-17.) Bm. 2/156/13. X.3044 Mr. Hives. Wd{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead}/W2/R9619. June 9th 1919. X.1768 X 3044 Re memo attached. The Palmer people do not list 895 x 150 tyres and we have written to them to see if they make this size. They reply that they do not manufacture same but offer 895 x 135, pointing out that on comparing these tyres with the 150 m/m tyre made by other manufacturers we shall find little or no difference between the sizes. X 3044 Please say if you will have the 150 m/m oversize Dunlop or the 135 m/m Palmer. Wd.{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead} mw | ||
