No Silent Tread Covers suitable for such Rims will be available until about the second week in January, when about 30 a week will be in manufacture, building up during the early part of February to 60 per week.

Such Covers will have Triple Butressed Treads and Standard Carcase, i.e. not "FORT" Carcase, and definite arrangements will be made to have at least 9 delivered to Paris by Tuesday at the latest - see 18th inst - possibly the whole 18, but if not the remaining 9 will follow within a week or so later. Please let us have usual requisition ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} B | ||
