Rolls Royce Limited, DERBY. 28th May, 1932. Dear Sirs, We thank you for your letters of the 25th and 26th inst. and have already put in hand an MA.2 type mould for 6.00-19 tyres for your 20/25 h.p. car. We have also in hand a mould in the same pattern 6.00-18 and we hope to be in a position to give delivery of the first set of four tyres in approximately six weeks. In connection with tyres for your 40/50 h.p. chassis, we have not an MA.2 mould available, only MA.1. We are in touch with our Works over the production of the former mould and think delivery can be given in approximately eight weeks and we may be able to improve on this promise. You may rely on our co-operation. Yours faithfully, FOR THE DUNLOP RUBBER CO. LIMITED. [Signature] Technical Representative, Car Manfrs. Section. | ||
