Dear Mr.Robotham, Following our discussion with you on December 17th., we made arrangements to have moulds modified so that further tyres could be submitted to you for noise tests. We are pleased to inform you that the tyres from the modified moulds are now being made and we hope to despatch the set of Phantom III tyres direct to Mr.Hancock at Chateauroux by the end of this week. It is hoped that all the other modified tyres, as set out in the attached list will be available in the next few days. Some of them, including the last two items on the list are already dealt with. We will send them by road to Derby as soon as they are all ready. Yours faithfully, [Signature] Technical Director. | ||
