| Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 13.39. To ROY {Mr H. Royce - Buyer} : from Sg {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} : Dunlop Tyres - Season Sg {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 1/E9938 Copy to Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Rn. {Mr Robinson} C. 1938/39. I am in receipt of ROY. {Mr H. Royce - Buyer} 10/B.8.9.38. I have referred to Mr.Shankland's letter to me and he said nothing in it about working on a rebate scheme. Personally I think it a silly arrangement, causing [obscured text] unnecessary book-keeping work but, unless G. {Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} strenuously objects, I will agree because I assume that Dunlop's have some good reason for wanting it. The prices quoted appear to be correct. ReWheels and Hubs, whilst I note what you say, I know nothing about this and, as Les. {Ivan A. Leslie} is, I understand, dealing with fabricated parts, I should want to know whether he agrees to our accepting this. On the assumption that he does, then I agree. Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
