| 1332. DUNLOP RUBBER CO.,LTD. TELEGRAPHIC ADDRESS: "DUNLOPS,PHONE,BIRMINGHAM" TELEPHONE: ERDINGTON 2121 (P.B.X) EXTENSION No. YOUR REF: OUR REF: K/W.36 FORT DUNLOP ERDINGTON BIRMINGHAM 23rd January 1937. W.A. Robotham, Esq., Experimental Dept., Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. Dear Mr. Robotham, Mr. Price advised you in his letters dated January 14th and 21st of the despatch of the tyres agreed at our last meeting. I do not know if you have tested any of these, but it occurs to us that it would be instructive to us to have a representative present at your tests - if this would not inconvenience you in any way. I think if we had actual experience of the results you obtained, we should be more likely to meet your requirements quickly. Yours faithfully, (F.G.W. King) TECHNICAL DIRECTOR. | ||
