Rolls-Royce Ltd., D E R B Y. For the attention of Mr. Grylls. Dear Sirs, Following upon our 'phone enquiry to-day regarding the two sets of balance weights to be supplied by you for fitment to two 5.00 x 17 Bentley wire wheels, we were advised that the balance weights would be fitted at your Works. Consequently it will be necessary to fit balance centre bolts and nuts prior to tyre fitting on wheels at Fort Dunlop. We note that you are arranging to despatch the centre bolts to-day. As regards the balance block seatings, we are fitting the standard type as supplied for Bentley wheels. Yours faithfully, For DUNLOP RIM & WHEEL CO. LTD. H.S. Sharp Technical Manager. | ||
