For the attention of G.H.Grylls, Esq. 21st June, 1938. Dear Sirs, We thank you for your letter of the 20th, and as explained on the telephone to Mr.Robotham this morning, we unfortunately have no record of the detail dimensions of the valve core or chamber, as these items are proprietary components which we obtain complete. It was suggested we would endeavour to procure this information from Messrs. The Scovill Manufacturing Company, and we understand you are in agreement with this. We hope, therefore, to communicate with you again in the next few days, advising you of any further developments. Yours faithfully, FOR THE DUNLOP RUBBER CO.LTD. [Signature] Manager, Car Manfrs. Division. [Logo: DUNLOP 1888 1938 50 YEARS OF GROWTH] | ||
