FROM THE FACTORY'S SPECIAL REPRESENTATIVE

May 11th. 1933.

Dear Mr Hives,

I hope you will forgive my bothering you with this letter, but I am most anxious to know whether you have had an opportunity of testing the Special Tyres I brought you, when I had the pleasure of calling upon you in Derby. Mr Worth has sent me a copy of his letter to you of April 21st, from which I was extremely pleased to see that the "broken Step" principle (which we discussed at Derby) had been embodied in the Tread design. I am only sorry that I was not aware of this when I called, but I was so keen to bring you the Tyres as soon as possible that I did not have an opportunity of discussing them fully before doing so. If by any chance you would like to discuss them further yourself with Mr Worth, or if there is any alteration you would like made, I should be only too pleased to arrange to bring Mr Worth

PLEASE REPLY TO 39. The Park Gardens London. S.W.10.
