| X4050 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn{Mr Robinson}2/LG. Expl: Dept: 17th. Oct.1926 Messrs.The Dunlop Rubber Co., Fort Dunlop, Erdington, Birmingham. Dear Sirs, For the attention of W.Bond Esq. With reference to your letter of the 10th.inst. We should like to know when we can get the standard 'Fort' 6.75" in France i.e., with a normal triple stud tread. If not, we think it would be useful if we took a pair of these tyres over on our car. From your letter it appears that the only other tyres we can hope to procure before we start the test are the super tyres. We should be glad to hear how these are progressing. Yours faithfully, | ||
