| 1332 γ c. Order Office. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}3/MH.{M. Huckerby} 9th. May, 1939. Messrs. Dunlop Rubber Co. Ltd., Fort Dunlop, Erdington, BIRMINGHAM. For the attention of Mr.H.E.Price. Dear Sirs, We should like to have one set of 7.50 x 16 tyres for test. As far as we are concerned we should prefer these to be 4-ply tyres, but as we are in need of them immediately we do not know whether you can manage this. If 4-ply tyres are not available perhaps you would send us now, a total of five 6-ply with the quietest possible pattern, and follow these up with five 4-ply "Rayon" tyres for further tests. Yours faithfully, for ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
