Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. Dear Mr. Robotham, Confirming conversation to-day, we hope to have some partially worn tyres for test on one of your cars soon after Whitsuntide. In the meantime, I would suggest that you discontinue testing the tyres which had the connecting pieces vulcanized into position, and concentrate testing on the fully moulded type. We would very much like to have the former tyres back for examination. Yours faithfully, For DUNLOP RUBBER CO LTD., AHealey Works Director. B28134 | ||
