| 1332 May 27th 1937. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Wym.{G. Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager}7/AP. Dunlop Rubber Co.Ltd., Fort Dunlop, Erdington, BIRMINGHAM. For the attention of H.E.Price Esq. Dear Sirs, In reply to your letter of the 20th. May, I wish to advise you that the 2 Experimental Fort tyres have been despatched today marked for your attention. We have not been able to run any tests on wet roads because when the roads were wet the car was not available, and when we had the car the roads were dry, therefore, knowing that you are anxious about these particular tyres, we propose to carry out further tests at a later date. We shall still have the advantage of testing these tyres in France under all conditions. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
