Dunlop Rim & Wheel Co.,Ltd., Foleshill, COVENTRY. Dear Sir, We are sending to you to-day a pair of Bentley rear hubs taken from a car out of the series which has given us most trouble due to wear of the internal splines. This was the first series on which we fitted hubs made by the Dunlop Co. We should like your opinion on whether the material is up to standard. Yours faithfully, For ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
