| To Roy{Sir Henry Royce}/Ms. from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} 1370 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}5/AP.1.12.36. Further to our Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies}9/AP.13.11.36. and the fact that Messrs Dunlops have not at the moment sufficient material, we still want to have all the wheels we have asked for. As regards Messrs Dunlops ordering a larger supply of material, you can tell them we shall standardise these wheels if they stand up to the usual road tests in France.
