| 84050. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Ru.4/KT. 27th June 1932. The Dunlop Rubber Co, Ltd, Fort Dunlop, Erdington, Birmingham. For the attention of Mr.Price. Dear Sirs, We thank you for your letter of the 17th of June and note your remarks. We are inclined to agree with you that the MA.2 type tyre is a good compromise, and are anticipating trying them out on standard to get some experience of them. At the same time we are very anxious to get hold of some of these tyres to run experimentally, and are rather disappointed in not having any opportunity of trying them. We are therefore asking you to let us have sets of 7 X 20 and 6 X 19 tyres with the minimum of delay. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS ROYCE LTD. | ||
