FORT DUNLOP ERDINGTON BIRMINGHAM Messrs. Rolls Royce Limited, DERBY. Attention of Mr. Robotham, Experimental Dept. 2nd October, 1931. Dear Sirs, Confirming the writer's visit on the 30th ult. we understand you wish to have before you dimensioned details of the tyres in which you are interested. These particulars, as explained, are included in our Service Manual, copy of which we have sent through to Mr. Mattinson, and we shall be glad to send you a copy also if you so wish it. On the other hand, we believe that as this Manual embodies certain data in which you are not interested, you would rather, for ready reference, simply have details of tyre sizes. We have, therefore, extracted from our Tyre Book the sizes of tyres which you have taken from us in the past, and attach a chart showing their approximate dimensions. Yours faithfully, for the DUNLOP RUBBER CO. LTD., H E Price Technical Representative, Car Manfrs. Section. Encl: | ||
