| 1332 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies}10/JH. 10th September, 1937. Messrs. Dunlop Ltd., Fort Dunlop, Erdington, BIRMINGHAM. For the attention of Mr. Price. Dear Sirs, We must apologise for the delay in our criticisms of the special 7.00 x 18 tyres but as you know climate conditions have been against us. However we were able to get a test yesterday and although conditions were not as ideal as we would have liked we tried the tyres on our local roads. We found the tyres very good for noise and we were also satisfied with the non skid properties when braking. The tyres will be kept in good condition and further tests will be made as the weather gets worse, but you no doubt will be interested to know that up to date we are very satisfied with the covers. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
