| COPY Sales Manager, Pneumatic Tyres. HEH/WM.2.913. 1st August, 1922. Dear Sirs, DUNLOP STRAIGHT SIDE TYRE EQUIPMENT. In pursuance of the plans of Messrs.Rolls-Royce Limited for the equipment of the 40/50 h.p. Rolls-Royce car with 33" x 5" Dunlop straight side tyres, we are now arranging to place in your hands a stock which will enable you to meet the demand for renewals. We would suggest, for a start, three tyres, and we believe for the moment, this number will be adequate. Apart from the issue of new cars equipped as above, a daily-growing number of Rolls-Royce owners are having their B.E. wheels converted to take 33" x 5" straight side tyres. We feel sure that we can rely upon your co-operation, and thanking you in anticipation, We are, Yours faithfully, THE DUNLOP RUBBER CO. | ||
