| Copy of Letter. From: DUNLOP RUBBER CO.LTD. Fort Dunlop Erdington Birmingham Experimental Engr.M/E July 11th.1923 Messrs. Rolls Royce Ltd. DERBY. Dear Sirs:- LOW PRESSURE TYRES In reply to yours of the 9th inst, reference ROY{Sir Henry Royce}1/MC9/7.23. we have all your tyres made and expect delivery of the wheels during this week, and will therefore be able to supply you within the next 8 days. I would prefer that when the wheels are ready we should advise you so that your car could come over here to be fitted. Or if you would prefer it we could bring the tyres over to your end. The above refers to the 8" tyres for the 40-50 chassis. The 7" tyres for the 20 H.P. will be some few weeks before we can get delivery. We are however, pressing on with the work as quickly as possible. I may say that since the visit to you to Mr. Blake and the writer, we have made very extensive tests on these tyres, which, up to date, have proved in every way satisfactory. Yours faithfully, FOR THE DUNLOP RUBBER CO.LTD. C.Macbeth. | ||
