As you know, the Dunlop Company for some time past have been experimenting with Low Pressure, big Section, pneumatic Tyres.

Attached is statement of results recently obtained by the Dunlop Company with such a set fitted to their experimental Cadillac car.

I am trying to arrange a visit from their Experimental Engineer, Mr. MacBeth in company with Mr. Blake at an early date, when we could talk the matter over more fully.

Please treat the results attached as confidential.
