7th. June, 1939.

Messrs. Dunlop Rubber Co. Ltd.,
Fort Dunlop,
Erdington,
BIRMINGHAM, 24.

For the attention of H.E.Price, Esq.

Dear Sirs,

Thank you for your letter of 5th. June, reference HEP/WS.590.C. concerning the 6" rim wheels which you are going to make for us.

We checked over your drawing CDS.1687, sent in a previous letter, and agree that your rim will fit into the centre of our 5 x 10 wheel. We shall, however, require about another ¼" out of centre point more than is shown on your drawing.

We hope to be able to let you have 5 wheels by the beginning of next week.

Yours faithfully,
for ROLLS-ROYCE LTD.
