| X.5820 HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rnl/LG Expl: Dept: 16th. Oct. 1928. Messrs. The Dunlop Rubber Co., Fort Dunlop, Erdington, Birmingham. Dear Sirs, 20 HP. SILENT TREAD TYRES. With reference to your letter ref. WB{Mr Brazier/Mr Bell}/LW6410 of the 4th.inst. and our letter of the 5th.inst. We note that you are proposing to produce silent tread tyres with 6" section for the 19" rims, and that you are automatically producing a silent tread for the 6" tyre on the 20" rims. It is of importance that we should have some of these tyres to test as soon as possible. Additionally, Mr. Royce is still pressing us for silent tread tyres on 19" rims for his own car. We should therefore be obliged if you could give us a definite date when we may expect delivery of these tyres. Yours faithfully, | ||
