Dear Sirs, For the attention of Mr. A.F. Martindale. We thank you for your letter dated the 5th instant, and as we have been taking the keenest interest in your test we are particularly pleased to hear of the satisfactory performance of our "Top Dog" TSM/B. Our experience of the wear figure of TSM/B is such that we can assure you it will give a very long life. For your information, well over 100,000 miles has been obtained from it on a number of "Midland Red" 'buses, which may give you some idea of the mileage you may expect on a Bentley. We will give prompt attention to any further supplies you may desire. Yours faithfully, HUBERT H.P. TRIST & COMPANY. | ||
