Rolls-Royce, Ltd., DERBY. Dear Mr. Robotham, We have been busy on the development of a new tyre which we believe has several improved features. I would like to have the opportunity of showing you this new design and discussing it with you as we believe this tyre would be particularly suitable for the Bentley. At the present moment we are making a mould and have no tyre to show you but we have a wood block model which will give you a good idea of the design. If you are agreeable, I could come to Derby one day next week, say Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, whichever would suit you. Kind regards, Yours sincerely, Paul Hunt.
