Dunlop Rubber Co., Ltd., Fort Dunlop, Erdington, BIRMINGHAM. (For the attention of Mr. H.E. Price). Dear Sirs, With regard to your letter HEP/HM.{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs}553.D. of the 4th February to Mr. Mattinson, we think it would be better if you would send us a complete set of covers and tubes to fit 4.50 x 16 wheels, so that we can test out the new valve arrangement on more than one tyre. We are, therefore, asking our Order Office to send you an official order for five covers and tubes, size 6.50 x 16, the tubes to have the latest rubber valve arrangement. Will you please let us know how soon we can expect to receive these as we are in need of tyres. Yours faithfully, For ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
