FORT DUNLOP ERDINGTON BIRMINGHAM Messrs. Rolls Royce Limited, DERBY. 13th May, 1932. Dear Sirs, We should like to refer you to our letter of the 19th April, in connection with the 'Silent' tyres on your 20/25 h.p. Demonstration car at Conduit Street. It was mentioned that in view of the position, we considered it would be advisable to have available a mould to produce the MA. type of tread in the 6.00-19 size and that from our tests here the MA.2. type would appear to be most suitable. Before proceeding with this mould, however, we should be glad to receive your confirmation that we shall be in order in doing so. Awaiting your reply with interest, We are, Yours faithfully, FOR THE DUNLOP RUBBER CO.LTD. [Signature] Technical Representative, Car Manfrs. Section.
