Dear Robotham,

With reference to our conversation yesterday, I confirm that I am asking the factory to send you five covers and tubes, 6.50-16 Aero Cushion, 6-ply.

I am also arranging for the trial sets of 7.00-18 which were returned to us from London to be sent to you at Derby, as you kindly said I might do so. I am not quite certain how many tyres are involved - there are not more than two sets, and there may only be one.

I am also taking up with Mr. Worth the question as to whether the silent tread could be used for the Aero Cushion tyres. I will let you know as soon as I hear from him; or possibly he may write you direct on the subject.

I should be most interested to hear of any further developments regarding tyres on the 'Phantom lll' in due course.

Very many thanks indeed for my excellent lunch.

Yours sincerely,

Rothes-
