[Handwritten initials: GBY] [Handwritten note: arrange] [Handwritten stamp: F in a circle, with 'Clunson' written next to it] 19th August, 1936. Dear Sirs, 5.00 x 18 Rims for Phantom 111. We are very concerned to note the contents of your letter of the 18th August and are asking the Factory for their immediate comments. At the moment it is difficult to understand the reason for the departure of these shells from standard, and we are wondering if you could spare one wheel and return it direct to the Technical Manager at our Foleshill Works for actual examination. Yours faithfully, For DUNLOP RUBBER CO., LIMITED. [Signature: H.C. Price] Manager - Car Manfrs. Division. | ||
