| 1332 EXPERIMENTAL DEPARTMENT. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FJH.{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer}16/JH. November 4th. October, 1938. The Dunlop Rubber Co.Ltd., Fort Dunlop, Erdington, BIRMINGHAM.24. For the attention of H.E. Price Esq. Dear Sirs, Re your letter of 3rd. inst. ref. HEP/ME.1349, we have looked further into this matter with the following results. The four tyres cornered were for some steering tests and were received by us on 19th Sept. approximately. You wrote to us confirming the despatch of these tyres on 22nd.Sept. reference HEP/WS.507.D. Our order No.74592 was issued to cover these tyres but unfortunately referred to the tyres as 'Fort 90' pattern whereas they were actually 'Fort' pattern. We hope the above makes the matter clear. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE | ||
