| 1370 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/48/MH.{M. Huckerby} 21st. January, 1939. Messrs. Dunlop Rubber Co. Ltd., Fort Dunlop, Erdington, BIRMINGHAM. For the attention of Mr. H.E.Price. Dear Sirs, Thank you for your letter of January 20th. with regard to the change-over to the longer wheel shell. The 1550 spoke liners come as a bit of a surprise as we had thought that our commitments ended after the 450 shells. As the alteration is primarily due to trouble experienced on a wheel with faulty spoking we would like to suggest that you halve the £19.7.6d. with us. Is this agreeable to you ? Yours faithfully, for ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
