A.{Mr Adams} Healey, Esq.,
Messrs. Dunlop Rubber Co.,Ltd.,
Fort Dunlop,
ERDINGTON, Birmingham.

Dear Healey,

Thank you for your letter of July 5th.

I see Grylls wrote and told you that I had been away from the Factory for a little while.

I would very much like to discuss the information you have got, but it looks as though I shall be tied up on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. I suggest that Friday, July 21st might be a safe day if you could manage that.

We have obtained a correction figure for flat with regard to curve surfaces, and the factor is not as much as we expected. The method used, however, for getting this factor is not highly scientific, and we hope you will be able to establish it beyond reasonable doubt.

Yours sincerely,
