THE COLLIERY GUARDIAN

August 30, 1918.



EXTRACTS FROM THE LETTERS OF A SOLID TYRE USER TO HIS SON.

“You can’t understand why certain of your tyres have failed at smaller mileages
whilst others are doing so well ? That 4-tonner of yours with Dunlop solid rubber
tyres is the lorry in question, I’m willing to bet. Tried to pass it in the car one day
last week and my speedometer was up to 33 miles per hour before I did so!

I’d take that driver into a corner somewhere by himself and tell him gently, but
firmly, that if it’s speed he’s after, he must wait until the war’s over and he can go
racing in the Isle of Man or somewhere like that. In the meantime he must realise
that a lorry is a steady going commercial vehicle with a limited speed. Great speed
means tyre ruin and chassis depreciation. And another thing—a lorry on the road’s
worth two in the ditch ! ”
