YOUR REF: Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}5/MA. OUR REF: HEP/BMT.88. FORT DUNLOP ERDINGTON BIRMINGHAM Messrs. Rolls-Royce Limited, DERBY. For the attention of S.H.Grylls. 5th. November, 1936. (Dict. 4th.) Dear Sirs, We thank you for your letter of the 30th.ult., and the information regarding the rim fitment on Buick models. On a cursory examination, the gauges of the material used on the large car appear to be heavier than those which we employ as standard for our 16" diameter tyres. We have, however, passed this information to our Design Section, and have asked them for their considered opinion. Yours faithfully, FOR THE DUNLOP RUBBER CO.LTD., [Signature] Manager, Car Manfrs. Division. | ||
