Royce - Buyer} 4/MG17.5.35 -------------------- The Dunlop Company yesterday acquired control of yet another competitive firm - in this case the wheel building side of the business of the Rudge-Whitworth Company. No details are yet available as to what their actual intentions are, but I believe they will continue the manufacture of Rudge-Whitworth Wheels at the Greet Works, and decide later whether they will concentrate such wheel building under one roof, i.e. Coventry.
