| Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}from Wd.{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead} c.to OO/Dn. X4058 Wd{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead}7/NJ22.6.25. 31" x 5.25" 6 Ply Tyres. We are in receipt of a letter from The Dunlop Rubber Co.Ltd., Chassis Makers' Division, ref.- FE/WM.1.196, dated 19th inst. stating that they have sent us 6 tyres of the above-mentioned type, labelled "F.H.Royce Esq." The Dunlop Co. understand that we have a set of 4½" x 21" wheels upon which we are going to test these tyres out and they ask us to say whether everything is satisfactory. Please let me know whether this is so. I understand that these tyres are intended for Experimental Dept. and I shall be glad if OO/Dn. will see that same are handed to Experimental Dept. on receipt. It should be easy to identify the tyres, seeing that they have been labelled "F.H.Royce Esq.". Wd.{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead} [Stamp: RECEIVED 19 JUN 1925 R-R Ld.] | ||
