YOUR REF: Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}14/JH. OUR REF: HEP/BMT.511. FORT DUNLOP ERDINGTON BIRMINGHAM 24 1332 Messrs. Rolls-Royce Limited, DERBY. For the attention of G.H.Grylls, Esq. 28th July, 1938. Dear Sirs, Referring to your letter of the 9th May in connection with 7.50-18 'C' type tyres, the writer has since discussed this matter with you and was given the impression that it was unlikely that this size of tyre would be used by you for first equipment purposes. We should be very appreciative of your advice whether any final decision on this matter has now been taken, as we should like to review our plant arrangements. Yours faithfully, FOR THE DUNLOP RUBBER CO.LTD. [Signature: H.C. Price] Manager, Car Manfrs. Division. [Logo at bottom left] 1888 1938 DUNLOP 50 YEARS OF GROWTH | ||
