| X 4050. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Lid. {A. J. Lidsey} 5/MA. January 22nd, 1932. Dunlop Rubber Co Ltd., Fort Dunlop Edington Birmingham. For the attention of Mr.Fellows. Dear Sirs, Thank you for your letter of the 21st inst. We have not yet been able to test out the Modified Tread Pattern Tyres in question, but in the course of the next fortnight we expect to despatch a car on a Continental road test equipped with these tyres. At the present moment therefore we have not had sufficient experience with them to warrant further discussion. If however knowing, the circumstances, you still think it worth while visiting us we shall be pleased to see you. Mr. Robotham who has dealt with this particular question personally, is at present out of the country and will not be with us again for several weeks. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
