Ltd., Fort Dunlop, Erdington, BIRMINGHAM, 24. For the attention of H.E.Price, Esq. Dear Sirs, We thank you for your letters of the 8th. inst. With reference to the special wheels with Michelin rims, we have heard from our representative in Paris that Michelins happen to have some steel discs which can be adapted to our car. we have written for confirmation of this, but if it is so, it will not be necessary for you to build up the special wheels. we will let you know as soon as we receive a reply. Concerning the previous '90' pattern size 6.50 x 16, we think there must be a misunderstanding as we have no intention of asking for any tyres of this type. in file 1332 Yours faithfully, for ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
