Dear Sirs, Lord Rothes was here yesterday and indicated that the new Colonial type of tread tyre which you are producing for the Bentley was about ready for test. At the present moment we are particularly well situated for carrying out road work on this tyre, and therefore it would be a good time to let us have these tyres. We shall be glad to know when you expect to be able to offer us the covers in question. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
