| Ex from ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} c. to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 84050. ROY{Sir Henry Royce}/GEA.10/EB12.6.31. The Dunlop Company write as follows :- "We are seriously considering the possibility of taking "from our production programme all Silent Tread Covers of "the standard Dunlop production, leaving only 'Fort' Tyres in "that particular type. "We take it that this would not inconvenience you in "any way but thought it would be advisable to write you so "that you may know exactly what steps are contemplated at "this end". In view of the fact that we invariably supply "Fort" Silent Tread Tyres, we propose, unless you advise us to the contrary, to tell the Dunlop Company, that the arrangement they suggest, would not inconvenience us.
