EXTENSION No. YOUR REF: Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}8/KW. OUR REF: Exptl Dept. FORT DUNLOP ERDINGTON BIRMINGHAM November 21st. 1935. W. A.{Mr Adams} Robotham Esq., Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. Dear Mr. Robotham, I am sorry not to have replied to your letter of the 18th before. The tyres you ask for however, were put in hand immediately, and you should be receiving them within a very short time. I think I ought to mention that tyres of this type are not regarded by us as suitable for use generally, because they will wear out much more rapidly than the standard type. Yours faithfully, For DUNLOP RUBBER CO LTD., A Healey Works Director. | ||
