HE/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}7/KW.12.9.34.

I should not have written so fully had we not received the attached letter from the Dunlop Co. with reference to two sets of tyres which we used when we were trying the car on the track. Actually now both these sets of tyres have been returned to the Dunlop Rubber Co., but this letter seemed to me to be indicative of the general lack of co-operation on this job.

As it is just possible that we shall continue to take occasional interest in competition work, I hope we shall be able to combine better in the future.

Yours faithfully,

FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED.
