I return herewith Standardisation Sheet No. 4050/7820 "Modification to tread pattern on tyres" duly signed by me.

No doubt you will be ascertaining and advising us as to when supplies of this tyre will be available, so that, if you agree, we may discontinue our present policy of offering customers the alternative of Silent or Buttress tyres.
