| SECRET. 1339. W/S. {Derby Works / Sales} To Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} from Roy. {Mr H. Royce - Buyer} c. to HS. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} ROY. {Mr H. Royce - Buyer} 8/B.23.8.38. TYRE PRICES Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 2/L.22.8.38. Your remarks re the above are noted. I will report further re Dunlop immediately Mr. Shankland returns from holiday and gives us his final proposals. It is noted you agree IndiaProduction 20 HP. with 4-speed box and Front Wheel Brakes Tyres for the Bentley III for the ensuing season. I think for reasons of policy it would be advisable not to close with the IndiaProduction 20 HP. with 4-speed box and Front Wheel Brakes Co. before the discussion with Mr. Shankland, and shall conclude you are in agreement unless you advise to the contrary. ROY. {Mr H. Royce - Buyer} | ||
