[Handwritten Initials: F.J.H.] Dear Sirs, [Handwritten Initials: P.M.] Through subsequent experience and tests we have obtained data which renders unnecessary some of the Skin Pan tests which we planned last September. This means that about 22 of the tyres which you are storing for us are no longer required. I have passed the Serial numbers of those tyres to Mr. Hewitt, who will arrange for our Birmingham van to call at Derby to collect those tyres. Yours faithfully, THE AVON INDIA RUBBER COMPANY LIMITED. [Signature] J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} Mackay DEVELOPMENT MANAGER AND CHIEF CHEMIST. | ||
