--------------------

The Goodyear Company advise that the Moulds they have available for 20" Rims are not suitable for Well Base, and regret their oversight in this matter.

They have moulds available, however, for 33 x 6.75 " suitable for 21" Well Base Rims, and they are sending forward such a set, which doubtless you could arrange to test out on the 21" Wheels - of which supplies were delivered here last Wednesday.

Meantime we are returning to the Goodyear Company the incorrect set just delivered.

They are especially sorry for the oversight, and trust we have not been seriously inconvenienced thereby.

ROY. {Mr H. Royce - Buyer}
