Tech: Asst: Manufacturers Div., Car, C.V., & Aero. FORT DUNLOP ERDINGTON BIRMINGHAM Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., D E R B Y. For the attention of Mr. W. A.{Mr Adams} Robotham. 17th; August, 1929. Dear Sirs, Tyres for the ensuing Season. --------------------------- 7.00/21" Silent Tread Fort Tyres. We regret that there will be a few days delay in sending you the set of six 7.00/21" Fort tyres for test in accordance with the arrangement made between Mr. Hives, Mr. Robotham and Colonel Mathew on Tuesday last. The position is, that we have concentrated on Normal Tyres to meet your requirements and have no stock of Fort Tyres. The latter are now well in hand but we fear it will be next Wednesday before they will be despatched. We trust you will not be inconvenienced by this delay. When your test is in progress we will, as suggested by yourselves, make enquiry of you monthly as to the progress made. Yours faithfully, for DUNLOP RUBBER COMPANY LIMITED. J C Farquhar | ||
