| Y3809 Expl: Dept: 31st. Oct. 1925. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /RmL/LG. Messrs. The Dunlop Rubber Co., Fort Dunlop, Erdington, Birmingham. Dear Sirs, For the attention of Mr. Pauli. Research Section. With reference to your 21 X 5 wheels fitted with 6" New Triple Stud Tyres. We are anxious to know whether this size of wheel rim is likely to be standardised by any other tyre manufacturers. We are also wondering whether Michelins make a size of tyre which can be fitted to these rims. If this is so, it might conceivably help customers to obtain replacements in out-of-the-way places on the Continent. Thanking you for the information you will be able to give us. Yours faithfully, MADE AT CROXLEY | ||
