| x4050 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}1/MA. 7th April, 1934. The Dunlop Rubber Co.Ltd., Fort Dunlop, Erdington, BIRMINGHAM. For the attention of Mr. Price. Dear Sir, 18 x 7.00" Tyres for 40/50 HP. Chassis. With regard to the Tyres you are making for us, as above we find that the wheels at present on the car are to our piece No.G.54809. When you make us a set of wheels with 4" rims instead of 3.62" we think it would be advisable to arrange them so that the clearance between the Tyre and the Cross Steering Tube is not diminished. We hope you will let us have these as soon as possible. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
