Your Ref. ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} GEA3. EB. 81128. Messrs. Rolls-Royce Limited, D E R B Y. Dear Sirs, Your Order No. 82616. 29/10/28. We have for acknowledgment your letter of the 8th instant, and in reply regret having to advise you that we are not yet in a position to give delivery of 32 x 6.75 Silent tyres. As a matter of fact instructions have only just been issued on our works to provide moulds for this particular size and type, and at the present moment we are totally unable to give you any promise of delivery whatsoever. At the very earliest, we do not expect the mould to be delivered for possibly 8 or 10 weeks, and first deliveries of tyres will follow very shortly afterwards. We can, of course, supply tyres 32 x 6.75 in the standard tread pattern, and trust to hear in due course that these particular tyres will be suitable for your purpose. Yours faithfully, for DUNLOP RUBBER CO. LIMITED. (Sgd) J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} T. Matthews. | ||
