Dear Sirs, Your ref: Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rml/LG. Expl: Dept. We thank you for yours of the 30th ulto. and, in regard to the weight of the 33 x 6.75 Everlastic Tube, this is not a size which we have made up to the present and we can only, therefore, give you the calculated weight, which we estimate to be approximately 17 lbs. per tube. This allows for an Everlastic Tube of our standard Low Pressure type construction. In regard to the question of price, this size of tube is not listed by us but we should be very glad to produce a set of tubes and charge these to you at actual cost price, which we trust will be quite agreeable to your goodselves. Yours faithfully, ST.{Capt. P. R. Strong} HELENS CABLE AND RUBBER CO. LTD. T.H.Brooke RUBBER DEPT. SALES MANAGER. | ||
