FORT DUNLOP ERDINGTON BIRMINGHAM Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Limited, DERBY. For the attention of G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} Grylls, Esq. 15th December, 1936. Dear Sirs, ORDER NO. 30274. We very much regret that we were unable to fulfill the delivery promise given in our letter of the 8th December, owing to a last minute difficulty in the completion of the special wheels. These where, however, received at Fort Dunlop this morning, and tyre fitting has been carried out under technical supervision to ensure that the improvised rims with tapered bead seats will not give rise to tube chafing. It is hoped that the assemblies, which are addressed for the attention of the above, will be in your possession tomorrow. Yours faithfully, For DUNLOP RUBBER CO., LIMITED.
