X5820 5th. Oct. 1928. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}4/LG. Messrs. The Dunlop Rubber Co., Fort Dunlop, Erdington, Birmingham. Dear Sirs, for the attention of W.Bond Esq. With reference to your letter of the 4th.inst. What we require is the silent tread 6" tyre for the 19" rims. We think undoubtedly we shall come to the small wheels and that this will be the tyre that will be used on them. As we previously pointed out, Mr. Royce is very anxious to get silent tread 31 x 6" tyres on his car. We should therefore esteem it a favour if you could do your best to let us have a set as soon as possible. Yours faithfully, | ||
