Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. ----- Dear Sirs, Further to our letter of the 5th instant on the subject of Hiduminium Rims for Bentley Wire Wheels, we are now advised by Messrs High Duty Alloys that the position regarding the depressing of the rim for reception of the spoke nipples, still cannot be considered satisfactory. We are maintaining close contact with the technical staff of our suppliers and we hope that the position will be improved and that we may soon be able to submit a more favourable report on the subject. Yours faithfully, FOR THE DUNLOP RUBBER CO. LIMITED. (Sgd.) H.C.PRICE. Manager - Car Manfrs. Division. | ||
