| Expl: Dept: V527 14th. July 1928. Ha/Ra5/LG. Messrs. The Dunlop Rubber Co., Fort Dunlop, Erdington, Birmingham. Dear Sirs, For the attention of Mr. Paull. We note that in addition to the 21" and the 19" rims suitable for our 20 HP. car, you are listing a 20" rim for a 6" tyre. This happens to be a very convenient size from our sales point of view. We are querying however, whether you intend to continue to make this 20" rim in addition to the 19" and 21" rims. We should be much obliged if you could let us know whether the 20" rim is to be perpetuated, or whether, if we standardise it, we shall find that we are in difficulty with supplies. Also, we should like to know whether you are in a position to supply the silent tread with this size of tyre. Yours faithfully, | ||
