| TELEPHONE: MUSEUM 5367. TELEGRAMS: ENGLEMATIC, EUSROAD, LONDON. X4376 RECEIVED JUN 10 1921 ENGLEBERT TYRES LTD. 45/6, Clipstone St.{Capt. P. R. Strong} & 101/2, Bolsover St, Gt. Portland Street, London, W.1. 9th June, 1921. REF. AM/MS. Messrs. Rolls Royce Ltd., Nightingale Road, DERBY. For the attention of Mr. Hines. Dear Sirs, In reply to your letter of the 7th inst. Although it is evidently a misunderstanding on both Mr. Johnson's and my part, as to what was arranged (as when speaking to Mr. Johnson I was under the impression that he was giving me an order) still, after receiving your letter I wired the Works to know whether they would agree to give me the set of tyres free for you. Having received their reply I enclose herewith a credit note for the amount we charged you with. I may also say that we were making the straight-sided tyre before the War, and we shall shortly be in the market again with these, but we are, I believe, going to confine ourselves to the Cord tyre in the straight-sided. Yours faithfully, ENGLEBERT TYRES, LIMITED. [Signature] MANAGING DIRECTOR [Image of tyre with text: PNEU ENGLEBERT 895 x 105] | ||
