Dict......30th Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Ltd., Nightingale Road, DERBY. For the attention of Mr. Hives. Dear Sirs, On your last visit you left with us two 32 x 4 1/2 Straight Side covers which had done a considerable mileage. We have had these covers re-treaded by our current methods and we think you would be interested to try them out just to see what further results you get from them. If you care to do this and will let us have a note or let us see the tyres when eventually finished with, we would appreciate it. We have given instructions that the tyres be sent to Derby, addressed for your personal attention. Yours faithfully, for THE DUNLOP RUBBER CO. LTD., W Bond Technical Advisory Manager. | ||
