FORT DUNLOP ERDINGTON BIRMINGHAM Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Ltd., DERBY. 2nd. July. 1930. Attention of Mr. Robotham. Dear Sirs, You will remember that a week or two ago, we delivered to you by mistake 2 - 7.00-21 Fort Silent covers with a tread modification. As the result of a telephone conversation, we understood that you would be unable to conduct a running test on these, owing to their being for 21" instead of 20" rims. If you have no use for these covers, we should be glad if you would return them to us as we can make use of them. Yours faithfully, For THE DUNLOP RUBBER CO.LTD., W. Road Development Manager. | ||
