FORT DUNLOP ERDINGTON BIRMINGHAM Messrs. Rolls Royce Limited, DERBY. For the attention of Mr. Leslie, 21st February, 1935. Dear Sirs, Following telephone conversation on the 18th inst. we wish to confirm that our Works have in hand one set of five 3.62x17 wire wheels suitable for the 20/25 HP. chassis and fitted with accommodation for balance units. Upon our advice that the provision of metallised and bonderised finish would delay production for approximately 14 days, you agreed to forego these special features and to accept the wheels in plain black enamel. In these circumstances, we are very hopeful of effecting despatch on Monday next. We have not yet forwarded any tyres as it is understood that the size and type required will also be specified on the official order which you are sending through, but which, up to the time of writing, has not been received. Yours faithfully, FOR THE DUNLOP RUBBER CO.LIMITED. Manager - Car Manfrs. Division. | ||
