| 405D Exptl. Dept. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}9/KW. 14th March, 1935. The Dunlop Rim & Wheel Co.Ltd., Foleshill. Coventry. Dear Sirs, We are interested in your Dunlop Extra Low Pressure Tyres. The sizes with which we are concerned are the 6.25 and the 6.5" tyres on the 6" rim, in the first case having a 4.00 D rim and in the second case having a 4.5 D rim. We should be glad to have drawings of these wheels as you would recommend them to be fitted to the Bentley hub, so that we can go over the clearances with a view to getting a set on one of our cars. We should also be interested to know the weight of the wheel and tyre in each case. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
