HARDY ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I received a message from one of our Birmingham van drivers to the effect that there are further tyres, in addition to the lot which he brought back this morning, which you require returned. With a continuation of the present fine weather I imagine that Dr. Mackay will be completing the skid pan tests, and it would therefore probably be best to collect all the tyres in one load at the completion of these tests. I shall be glad to know if you agree with this suggestion. Yours faithfully, THE AVON INDIA RUBBER COMPANY LIMITED. S. Harold Hewitt Manufacturers' Section. | ||
