Dear Mr. Worth, It is some time since we have heard from you and we have not yet received any 6.50 x 16 'Super' covers with continuous shoulders, which you said you were making for us in your letter of October 7th. With reference to the experimental type of tyre which you sent some time ago, we have now done considerable running on this in spite of the whining noise. These tyres are remarkably good on wet roads. As we do not know how you are getting on with the new type of tyre and have several points that we wish to discuss with you concerning our future tyre requirements, we wonder whether you could pay Derby a visit, say, at the beginning of next week so that we could get everything settled up. Yours sincerely, | ||
