Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager},11/JH. OUR REF: HEP/BMT.148. FORT DUNLOP ERDINGTON BIRMINGHAM Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Limited, DERBY. For the attention of G.H.Whyman, Esq. Experimental Dept. 9th July, 1937. Dear Sirs, We thank you for your letter of the 7th, and can only hope that as the writer is going away for the week-end he may be favoured with weather similar to that which you have had in Derby for the last two months. Special arrangements were made for the Duke of Kent's car to be fitted with the new Fort tyre, but as this tyre has since been announced it can be removed from the secret list and tested in the ordinary way. Under the circumstances, there will be no need for you to return them to us after test, but we should value your opinion on their general performance. Yours faithfully, FOR THE DUNLOP RUBBER CO.LTD. Manager, Car Manfrs. Div. | ||
