| 1332 Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Gry {Shadwell Grylls} 3/R. 10th July, 1939. Messrs. Dunlop Rubber Co.,Ltd., Fort Dunlop, ERDINGTON, Birmingham. (For the attention of Mr. H.E. Price) Dear Sirs, Will you please arrange to send us as soon as possible a further six 6.50 x 16 track racing tyres similar to the ones we have already had. We have so far been unable to use the racing tubes with these tyres because the rim is not suitable, and we have, therefore, used the ordinary tube with a rubber valve. Will you please let us know whether there is any objection to this procedure, or whether we ought to have special tubes with a valve which will fit the available tubes. Yours faithfully, For ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
