For the attention of P. Worth, Esq. Dear Sirs, We thank you for your letter of April 30th regarding the 6½ x 17" tyres. It is very probable that we shall standardise a tyre of this size if the silence is as good as the modified 6" tyres you made for us sometime ago. We note that to make such a tyre would necessitate a new mould, but think it would be worth your while making this. We have previously asked you to make six of the new type tyre, and should now like to increase this number to twelve. Will you please let us have some idea when you will be able to deliver them. Yours faithfully, For ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
