FORT DUNLOP ERDINGTON BIRMINGHAM 24 Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Limited, DERBY. For the attention of S.H.Grylls, Esq. 6th December, 1938. (Dict. 5th) Dear Sir, Confirming the writer's discussion with you on the 2nd, as requested we have made arrangements to despatch to your Service Department at Paris Depot six 6.50-16 new pattern Standard covers and tubes. These embody the serrated edge with moulded incisions and are of 4-ply construction. We thank you for your agreement to advise us on the progress of these tests, as we feel that the fitment of the 4-ply cover on a car with the capabilities of your experimental model is not in our mutual interests and that Fort equipment is the more suitable type for consideration. Yours faithfully, for DUNLOP RUBBER CO., LTD. H.E. Price Manager - Car Manfrs. Division. [LOGO: 1888 1938 DUNLOP 50 YEARS OF GROWTH] | ||
