YOUR REF: Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies}10/JH. OUR REF: HEP/WS.80.D. FORT DUNLOP ERDINGTON BIRMINGHAM 24 Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. For the attention of F.Dodd, Esq. 5th January, 1939. Dear Sirs, In thanking you for your letter of the 2nd January, we confirm that official order No.80213 came to hand by the same post and we should be glad if you would hand the enclosed acceptance slip to the appropriate department. In consequence of our telephone conversation this morning, we understand that you do not require tyres of any special character and we have therefore forwarded immediately 5, 6.00-16 Dunlop Fort E.L.P. covers and tubes of normal construction. It was mentioned that if, when ordering similar tyres in the future, you describe them as Dunlop Fort E.L.P. we should be left with no doubt in our minds as to the correct article to supply. Yours faithfully, For DUNLOP RUBBER CO., LTD. [Signature] Manager, Car Manfrs. Division. [Handwritten notes: noted File ED{J. L. Edwards}] [Logo: 1938 DUNLOP 50 YEARS OF GROWTH] | ||
