For the attention of S.H.Grylls, Esq.

1st November, 1937.

Dear Sirs,

Referring to Mr.Sharp's and the writer's call on the 29th October, we would confirm that we are endeavouring to obtain details of the performance of the special Centre Lock wheels fitted to certain of the B.M.W. Frazer-Nash models.

We are also preparing a scheme showing suggestions for a bolt-on disc or panelled wheel; alternatively, a similar wheel with centre locking attachment based on the details which you provided on your proposed axle end arrangement.

We hope to be able to give you these further details in the near future.

Yours faithfully,
FOR THE DUNLOP RUBBER CO.,LTD.

H.C.Price

Manager,
Car Manfrs. Division.
