Dear Sirs, Your letter of the 10th.inst. under reference HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/RML/Lg. to Mr. Paull has been passed to the Writer for attention as Mr. Paull goes on holiday this evening. It is not possible to fit Well-base rims to the Micehlin Disc Wheels, but we can supply you with Disc Wheels having Well-base rims size 21 x 5 suitable for 33 x 6.75 Balloon Tyres. If you would be good enough to pass us an order and with that order either send us a "rubbing" showing the bore and bolt hole drilling of the Micehlin Disc Wheels, or give us the dimensions of the bore and the number of bolt holes, we should be glad to meet your requirements. The only information we have about Hispano Suiza Cars is that they are of the detachable type. If the wheel is similar in attachment to those we supply to you, we shall be able to supply you with a set of wheels if you will tell us the type number. (You will find same on the handle of the Spanner). Assuring you of our best services. Yours faithfully, FOR THE DUNLOP RUBBER COMPANY LIMITED. L. Hodge H/NGG.2. | ||
