| DUNLOP RUBBER CO., LTD. 1332 TELEGRAPHIC: DUNLOPS, PHONE, BIRMINGHAM TELEPHONE: ERDINGTON 2121 (P.B.X) EXTENSION NO 393. YOUR REF: OUR REF: HEP/HO.23. FORT DUNLOP ERDINGTON BIRMINGHAM 24 S.H. Grylls, Esq., Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Ltd., DERBY. 15th January, 1944. Dear Grylls, I hope that circumstances will shortly allow us to devote some attention to post War requirements and developments on Car Tyres and on referring to our records I find that in 1941 you were interested in some special 6.50-16 equipment. I do not know if this is a subject on which you are or would be directly interested but, if so, we would appreciate an opportunity of discussing the general position with you as we would value your ideas on this matter. You probably have heard that Mr. Healey is now at the Rubber Control and I know that had he been at Fort Dunlop, he would have contacted you on this matter himself. If this is a matter which is not of interest to you, perhaps you would kindly put me in touch with your people who would be handling it. Yours sincerely, | ||
