| A121 D.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} R.{Sir Henry Royce} Co. LTD. CONTINUATION SHEET No. 1. 16th August 19 22 Messrs Rolls Royce, Ltd., it is possible for for us to devise some test on the lines you suggest which would show up any rings displaying any greater likelihood to leave the rims than others. We should be sorry to see you adopt any lokking device for the ends of the rings, as we feel satisfied that such a device is relly unnecessary. If you would be good enough to leave the point with us for a few days I will write you again, and may run over to see you on the matter. Yours faithfully, For the DUNLOP RUBBER CO LTD., W H Paull Development Supt., | ||
