For the attention of Mr.H.C.Price. Dear Sirs, Thank you for your letter of the 26th inst., reference HEP/BMT.532.D. We should be glad if you will put in hand immediately a pair of 5 X 17 Bentley wheels. Will you let us know whether it is necessary for you to fit the tyres at your own Works, if so we will send you an order for these tyres. It is essential that some type of balancing facilities are provided, which of course will have to be fitted before the tyres. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
