Dear Sirs,

Following the telephonic conversation the undersigned had with your Mr. Grylls, we are sending herewith, as promised, blue print of a mould for producing a reinforced rubber block, which we believe might be found to meet your requirements.

If you decide to go ahead with the idea, and to make a mould, we should be very glad if you would supply us, at the same time, with a few thin brass inserts, which would have to be a snug fit and preferably not more than .030 thick, and the brass of 70/30 composition.

We shall be very pleased to learn what you think of the idea and any further information or help in the matter that we can give will be readily forthcoming.

Yours faithfully,
for BRITISH TYRE & RUBBER CO., LTD.

N.Kellan
Works Superintendent.
