Hallam - Head Repairs} FORT DUNLOP ERDINGTON BIRMINGHAM 24 Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Ltd., DERBY. For the attention of S.H.Grylls, Esq. 9th January, 1939. Dear Sirs, 4.00x16 Disc Wheels with Light Weight Rims. We regret that we were unable to speak to you on the telephone this morning, but we left a message with your office to the effect that we had checked up the processing of the rims on the first sample set supplied to you and we confirmed that they are not of a normalised type. We are, therefore, putting a further set of rims in hand, and we should be glad to know when we may expect a set of wheels so that we may remove the existing rims and refit our special light type. If you would be good enough to have the equipment despatched to our Coventry Works, labelled for the attention of Mr. Sharp, it would be most helpful. Yours faithfully, For DUNLOP RUBBER CO., LTD.
