Portland Street, London, W.1. 13th June, 1921. REF. AM/MS. Messrs. Rolls Royce Ltd., Nightingale Road, DERBY. For the attention of Mr. E.W.Hines. Dear Sirs, Further to the remarks in your letter of the 7th inst that you are interested in Straight Sided Tyres. We shall be very pleased to know what size you propose fitting. Will it be the 34 x 4½ covers? We are making these in the Cord type, and we believe these will be what they call full size. The 135 m/m section, however, in Cord will approximately be nearer 150 m/m.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} Our Works are rather interested to know this, so we would esteem it a favour if you would kindly let us have an answer. Yours faithfully, ENGLEBERT TYRES, LIMITED. A Muhlenkemp MANAGING DIRECTOR [STAMPED]: RECEIVED 14 JUN 1921 [LOGO TEXT]: PNEU ENGLEBERT 815x105 | ||
