Hallam - Head Repairs}833. FORT DUNLOP ERDINGTON BIRMINGHAM Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Limited, DERBY. For the attention of Mr. Grylls. 25th February, 1936. Dear Sirs, Reverting to our letter of the 12th February, we very much regret that it was not possible to despatch the special 5 x 18 Wire wheels in the manner anticipated therein. Unfortunately the absence of special tools has brought about certain difficulties in the production of these rims, and upon speaking to our Works this morning we learn that the wheels are still incomplete. It is hoped, however, that they may have been assembled by the end of this week and you may be assured that immediately we are satisfied with them they will be forwarded to you without delay. Yours faithfully, For DUNLOP RUBBER CO., LIMITED. H.C. Price Manager - Car Manfrs. Division. | ||
